I have seen lots of new babies on Facebook, and people getting married.

I hate this, why is it that I can't seem to find a man!!!! I have no friends, there all gone. It hurts so bad, bad enough I have to vent!!

Then there are having kids, it's what I do and don't want. I don't want them outside of marriage but i am getting more frustrated with the lack of men in my life. I need friends!! I feel as if I have to push people away in order to stay sober.... Then there is the fact that my sister has had a relationship and it's falling a part. I just wish life was different. That depression isn't a part of my life, that I am free of addictions.

Is it just me or is this world messed up?

I understand pushing people away to stay sober or free from drugs . What about making friends with people who don't drink or use ?
I also am not happy I don't have REAL friends . I don't have a bf .
Sometimes life looks unfair to me too . Messed up ? Probably is .

I think what you’re experiencing is probably pretty common. It’s hard to stay healthy and have an active social life these days. If you want to lose weight, stay sober, etc, it’s hard to do that and hang out regularly with groups of friends. I gave up trying to find friends to hang out with and found a little volunteer group to help out with instead. The people are authentic and I feel good about the time I spend with them because we are doing something to help others. It lifts my spirits and gradually I’m making new friends along the way.
