Welcome! Glad to have you as part of this community. Meetings are a great way to meet sober people. I hope you can find plenty of like-minded people in your new home.

I’ve been going to meetings regularly but I feel awkward when talking to people face to face. I’ve done a lot of time in prison and I think that makes me think im lesser than others so it’s easier on line

Welcome Cory! Maybe this place can be helpful for you. I suffered from social anxiety for a long time, also after I became sober, so meetings never worked for me until a short while ago ( I now attend weekly Dharma Recovery meetings). This place instead has been my sober community for over 6 years now. Read, learn, and join in one or more threads here. The daily check in is popular, but there are many more. Wishing you all success friend.

I completely understand feeling uncomfortable with face to face meetings. Like @Mno mentioned I’ve also struggled with social anxiety. If interactions here can fill your cup while you wait for in person friendships to pan out, then please stay here and stay active. It’s a lovely app with lots of room for making positive connections.
