Hello my name is Tyler I have 149 days today I’m having a bad day today I keep having these dreams I have never made it this far it feels good also my wife’s 1 year memorial is coming up on the 18th of July and I’m scared I’m going to do something stupid ever since I became sober I have no friends and it sucks I need to meet sooner people it’s hard cause not everyone is like us or wants to be like us you know sober and if they are well where I’m from it’s hard to meet people so if there are anyone out there that would like to talk to me or help each other threw our journey please let me know cause it’s been a hard one and sometimes I need someone to talk to on the days I don’t think I will make it I’m from cali. So to be exact San Diego is there anyone else from San Diego in here let me know please
Sorry bud not from the area but your self awareness shines bright and that’s half the battle. Stay strong.
Hi Tyler. Congrats on your sober time. A lot of people don’t even make it that far. I’m not from your area, but I would highly suggest checking out an AA meeting to meet people there. All like minded people and if you say you’re new you’ll likely have a bunch of people who just come up to you and introduce themselves. The program itself is also life changing in my opinion, but if nothing else that fellowship will help tremendously and you’ll meet new friends. There’s an app that looks like a little chair just called meeting guide that tells you all the meetings in your area and how far away they are from you. Best wishes and you can always talk to us on here too!
Definitely a good choice to look for local groups. They likely have one of every type of recovery group in SD. I looked online and they definitely have S.M.A.R.T. and Recovery Dharma.
Check them out - even attend an online local meeting to meet people more local to you.
With people from all over the globe, Sober Time isn’t always the place to get that type of support. We get to know each other over time, primarily through talk-typing online.
Glad you posted.

Hi Tyler my name is Bethany, I’m in the same boat. I’m back to day 1 today and feel horrible. The loneliness is one of the worst parts, I feel ya. My old partying friends I stay away from and my old sober friends don’t talk to me anymore. I’m at an in between. I just feel sad and unwanted… like a burden.
I’m gunna try an online NA meeting today for the first time. You can also msg me if you wanna chat, it sucks having no one to talk to!

Hello this is Tyler where you from if you don’t mind me asking and what was your drug of choice how old are you
I’m from Saskatchewan, Canada. I’ll be 37 in 4 days actually! My drug of choice is cocaine (used to be alcohol) but I also have a gambling problem. I know what it’s like to be lonely and triggered with no one to go to, it sucks. Stay strong! 
Hey Tyler, glad ur here and reaching out! Im from Alberta, Canada, so far away from you but there may be some in-person meetings around you that can be a place to build sober friendships. I know in early recovery, i felt super alone. I had no clean and sober friends at all! But the meetings helped to change that 
Also, we are here for you, especially on July 18th. Reach out before you pick up (if u have a craving or urge to use). Let us help u thru it. You are not alone!
Yea it does but that’s why I need to make friends with people that understand me you know
