Welcome to SR from a fellow Buckeye!
I'd suggest going to some meetings. In your city there are bound to be lots of them every day and night. Go to several until you find some you like. That will give you a bit of a social life right there just from meeting new people and maybe even taking part in some of their social events. Even if you just went with some of them for coffee after the meeting. It would be a chance to hang out with some new people and get to know them. Who knows? You could find some new friends.
The people I've met at meetings are, for the most part, kind and friendly. Give it a try! What have you got to lose?
