I am pretty new to this app. I am trying to find sober people to talk to. I can't go anywhere anymore without alcohol or people drinking. I can drive past the liquor store, I can drive by a bar. But I can't avoid the grocery stores or go out to eat at a nice restaurant. I think it's easier to be a hard drug addict in recovery rather then be recovering alcoholic. It isn't shoved in your face like alcohol is. I have cut myself of from everything and everyone, literally.

The right friends will come along just be patient
It's not because being a addict alcohol is the hard up way and I moved back home to Tennessee 2 years ago and I still don't really go anywhere except for work because I don't want to be drugg into something that I don't want any part of
I've been able to put all the hard drugs down so much easier. It has a lot to do with the availability of alcohol for me. You can't just go the grocery store and find a cocane shelf lol. I can't be around it at all at thos point, I will drink it.
Mandy, I hear you. Booze is everywhere! Just think of the food addicts/over eaters. That must be insanely hard!
In my experience I found isolation was a long walk off a short pier too. So in person AA meetings really helped me. Being around people dealing with the same issues and supporting each other just made sense. I found relief and life long solutions.
Iām here if you ever want to talk or have any questions

I tried AA once, but I am not Christian and this particular group was very faith based. I need to find a group that is along with my beliefs or no religion at all. I know they are out there. I think i would like to do something online first.
Hey hit me I'm not religious and am sober. I could use some more sober friends as well. I hope you find what you're looking for and I hear ya about the fact that alcohol seems to be everywhere. It sux but you'll get through it !
