I’m a sober bartender/musician that is constantly around toxic people. (Working on changing my work) Lately it’s a struggle finding like minded people to connect with. I feel stuck in the middle. Also the term “Anhedonia” has been on my mind because it seems to apply to me! Just feeling a little alone in the world. Suggestions anyone?

Maybe if we lower our expectations for life and circumstances; we could focus on the simple pleasures? I too am struggling right now… so when I read what you wrote that’s what came to my mind. Stay focused 
Firstly, congrats on almost 9 months sober considering your current work profession 
. Have you considered therapy? I've learned a lot of skills in dealing and healing, being able to discuss my feelings-understand them. With that, early on in my sobriety I was able to find peace in solitude; kind of like putting into action "me, myself and i". Once mastered, you'll glow differently and naturally people will be attracted to that light. You'll get there; its possible you're environment is just a bit cloudy
