Some of my friends do Marijuana and I don't

I'm struggling to make friends who don't smoke and who are permanently based in the DC area. I heard on a comedy show with Bill Maher yesterday that more of the country is found to need thc or cbd for their pain...this society is really painful and I have a whole degree to help people. I'm worried my loneliness gets in my own way.

Huayra, I found really great friends in the rooms of AA & NA. My old friends remained my friends but to be honest I became more interested in my sober friends. I want to be free from all mind altering substances. My sobriety is about freedom. Free to be happy, peaceful and healthy.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions

You have a sponsor right? Take your sponsor out

@huayra488538 Sounds like you need new friends.

I actually don't have a sponsor at this time , or one who lives near by.

I can be paying better attention to thise who influence positive things in sobriety and mental health wellness.

But I don't expect you to drive 3 hours. But you have to ask yourself one question. The same question that we always ask ourselves. At what lengths are we willing to go to maintain our sobriety? If you can't go to them then maybe they can come to you? Maybe you can throw a cookout or I don't know a big book meeting with five different women?
