I had a similar experience after I cut the daily boozing from my life. That was in 2007 and I still have no real friend anymore. I mean, I still "talk" to my old friends and drinking buddies on Facebook, but that's pretty much the only interaction I have these days... oh and on internet forums.

I haven't seen any friends in person in going on 2 years (went up north for an old friend's 30th birthday like a year and a half ago). I mostly hang out with my sister, her husband and their kids these days.

To remedy this I joined an MHA clubhouse, but I haven't been there in months... don't know why, everybody there is very nice.
