Sober & Loneliness

2/25/24 Alcohol Free
I would say I was a low key alcoholic? Im not sure ?
Anyways almost 6 mos. Lately I’ve been feeling so lonely. I have a family but still so much emptiness i know got to keep busy. Any tips? I am the type of person that likes to be social, but I stopped drinking that surrounded that. THANK YOU!

Welcome @Seemenever!
Have you tried meet up groups in your area? Where you could meet people that have the same interests as you. I know people on here have had success with things like hiking, dancing, walking groups, arts and crafts etc.

I had nothing but drinking and drugging friends, so finding sober people was a challenge early on, but I did find my new tribe in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. Now my social calendar is filled with so many sober activities, I can’t keep up with them all.

The Big Book says a fellowship will replace that loneliness.

And also sometimes we go through a period of feeling alone before God can give us something New.
