Welcome Shannon! Feeling a little alone is totally normal in early sobriety because we’ve been hiding in our addiction so long and when we come out we are kinda learning how to connect with people in real life. It’s a learning process. One of the things that helped me and a lot of us was sobriety groups. There’s us here in TS of course, and there’s also recovery programs, which are designed not just to help us learn to live sober, but also to give us a network of friends - fellow humans in the world - who we can walk with in life. It feels good to have those connections. There’s no harm in attending a meeting online: [Online meeting resources](https://talkingsober.com/t/online-meeting-resources/83966) There’s also in person meetings but at the moment it varies from place to place (because of COVID). Anyway, welcome here! It’s nice to meet you. You’re among friends. 😇 --- _[View the full topic](https://talkingsober.com/t/feeling-alone-and-still-maintaining-sobriety/116322)._
