Gone, we all are in the same boat. With recovery comes a new environment and social circles including friends. Over time we realize it is a good thing so we don't fall back in enabling behaviors that enhanced our problems rather than let us work through them. Try the threads here, read them for similiar ones and pm the person making friends that way. It does work and it is wonderful the peer support on here. They in turn can share their networking skills in making other friends.. it will get better, tc
