Trying to make female friends in my neighborhood, but everyone is busy or acts like they want to hangout and never do. Its not easy for me to socialize without substances. I feel like I'm being too needy for friends... Anyway, I'm just gonna chill with my husband like I always do.
Keeping working in yourself. The friends will come. I’ve made a few really healthy and nice in the program now.
I used to say no one wants to hang out. Fact is I was never really asking anyone
I’m so guilty of this!!
Friends will come naturally
I have similar issues. For me I have such a severe social anxiety that it's hard for me to even go to a meeting. I made friends while in treatment but because it's hard for me to leave my house, it's hard for them to stay friends. Friendship is a two-way street, so I understand. Even though I understand that I need to make more of an effort, it's hard and makes me a little sad at times too.
I hope things will get easier for you. That the right people will come into your life and help you enjoy your life in recovery
