Hi

I'm an outgoing/social-introvert/loner. If that makes sense.

I used to have many many friends my entire life, At work and outside of work.

In the last 4 years the friends have started to lessen and now I have zero.

I'm an attractive and nice, good-hearted female.

I'm not sure if the alcohol or the bi-polar worsened and the moods drove people away?

I'm now 11 days sober and newly medicated.

I feel better.

Now, I look back and see my tough outside, protective shell I had at times.

I'm now wondering where to start to meet new friends? I'm not going to go to 12 step meetings. I will join some type of hobby, so that is one place.

It is really hard starting OVER at this age, as I have no family here where I live, or anywhere, really.

Let me know if you have had any luck making new friends in recovery.
