Sorry you’re going through that. There are a lot of people here looking for sober friends and connection. How long have you been sober, if you don’t mind sharing?

@kat476607 We all can relate to being alone and not having sober friends. All of our former "friends" were around because we had something they wanted... Alcohol and or drugs. Now that we aren't drinking and/or drugging our so called "friends" have moved on .

Now that we are either sober or trying to get sober we have no one in our corner now we have to find new "friends". What makes it difficult, especially on social media, is that we have now way to weed out the cat fishers from the real people until it's to late.

The very fact is you are not alone some 8 people have replied to your note. The very 1st step signifying we are not alone. We admitted, God and whatever recovering people are your family and friends. Im sobriety I have learned unbelievable times of loneliness is optional. Get to a ton of meetings and make allot of new friends. Let go and one never knows who the next love will be. Maybe closer to you then you realize) odatt Fredrick

that's part of the problem. needing booze and drugs to socialize. early recovery can be painful, lonely, etc. it was a tough pill to swallow realizing I had no real friends. drinking buddies, using partners, crime partners... a few times in life you can see who your friends are.
when you need help moving

when you go to jail, and nobody visits or puts $ in your canteen

when you get clean/sober. nobody was bringing me clean clothes, toiletries, cigs, food, etc

I had to reach out to the ppl in AA/NA. keep coming back. had to put myself in uncomfortable situations and trust that God was on my side. God was working behind the scenes, putting ppl in my path. showing me His will.
these days I have a truly blessed life. family is back. Love, trust, and respect. went back to school, nursing degree. started a business that has allowed me to live a very comfortable life. work April -Sept, take the rest of year off. travel, Caribbean, FL, CA, CO, HI. it's amazing how much you can save when you're not giving everything to the bartender, it drug dealer. reach out my friend, in person AA, NA, CA
