I got that summertime sadness. As the weather is getting warm and it’s nice to be outside I find myself wanting to drink more. Also because I don’t seem to have any friends anymore since I’ve been sober. Everyone socializes over a drink. Go to the park, let’s drink. Go out to eat, let’s drink. Go to the movies let’s drink you get the idea. Or they say you’re fun to be around once you’ve had a couple drinks so I feel like I’m a boring old lady now that I don’t drink. I’ve gone to CA, and AA and found some people but it seems like these group of people are just wanting to hook up with each other or date so it left a bad taste in my mouth for wanting to hang around them. Feeling a bit hopeless lately.

Have you tried women’s meetings? A few sober sisters would do you good.
I’m feeling the same as you!! It’s sunny and beautiful and I just want to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine…!!! Because that’s what I’ve always did and same regarding the friends thing. Beach and boating always had beer. Sunshine Mexican with margaritas and so on… I’m struggling too
