Jil,

Something that helped me was doing volunteer work. I met people, made friends, found out about interesting events in my community.

What do you like to do? I love to read. I enjoyed going to the free lectures and book reviews at the local book stores. I took some classes for pure enjoyment and then found out about more interesting events from the community college.

I know it's hard to put ourselves out "there" but as you grow into sobriety, it gets easier, I think. For me, finding something I was passionate about helped fill the void.

Love from Lenina
