Hey this is my first time here. Im currently dealing with “rewiring” my brain and not alot of people have supported me working on myself and getting healthy. I dont have a “village” in my everyday life and im hoping to find a few people i can call friends.

Welcome Jada! I use this forum as my support network. My hubby and I got clean together but he isn’t an “addict” like msyelf, so he doesn’t really understand the importance of the milestones or the hard work I put into my recovery daily. But like urself I am constantly on the path of rewiring my brain. It’s been a journey that’s for sure! Welcome to TS! Hope u continue to post

Welcome Jada! We are all rewiring. It Takes time for our neurochemicals to get back to normal because it took time using for them to be off. But the human body is an amazing thing and it will get back to normal! Give it time to heal Welcome to the group.

Welcome, Jada! You are in the right place if you’re looking for a village; everybody here is awesome. Like you, I have few people IRL to talk with; a handful of MH people, who aren’t technically “friends” in the strictest sense, and my neighbor Joe. I come here on a regular basis, and there’s always someone to talk to.

I have found that people bond easier over shared interests and activities. Since many “activities” are really just drinking, we in recovery must be willing to broaden our vistas and try new sober things. Maybe it’s painting or pottery, roller-skating or rock-climbing, bowling or Bible study. Maybe audit a class at your local community College, or take a yoga class.
I was pretty isolated my first 90 days of sobriety. I work from home. Beyond immediate family, I really wasn’t social with anyone. Then I signed up for martial arts classes at a local studio. There I met lots of folks with a shared interest, and made many new friends, all of which have never known me as a drinker.
