I find getting a home group (one that meets every day) made it easier to meet sober people. As I got to know them and them me, we started doing things outside the meetings. It does not happen over night so you have to give it time.

When I cant get to a meeting I go to "Recovery Street" http://www.recoverystreet.com its a 2D online interactive chat site where you get to create your own avatar. its pretty cool!. Any way I go there and can get answers to my questions in real time, and also am able to help others with questions.....Good Luck and God Bless
