What fun! I'm such an isolater - I was when I was a drunk and still am as a sober person.

But, my sponsor invited me to her boyfriends house tonight for a dinner party. It was all sober people. The guys townhouse is right on the water near a marina and we could see about 6 different displays of fireworks across the bay - it was so pretty.

It was nice to be social and have a good time while doing it sober- I need to do that more often!

Tranquility

It was calming and beautiful! When we looked out in the distance you could see hundreds of lights and it was all the boats that had gone out to see the fireworks - so pretty!

Good for you for getting out. I also struggle with isolation—always have. I think getting out and socializing with others is an important part of my recovery. It reminds me that I am not the only one staying sober. And, its good just to have some fun with other people.

Yes - my biggest problem is isolation. I have so much fun going out but it takes so much effort to get there!
