Welcome Kitty! Glad you are with us and you have our support.
I found early recovery to be more a quiet time in my life. I worked my support and had to take a full inventory of what I was and what I needed to change to get where I wanted to be. So I focused 100% on recovery and was outright selfish. Oh definitely, I was lonely and was confused about what life was going to be like but it was the best thing I ever could have done for myself.
Much like you and many.....I too kept my drinking mostly away from others at home, etc. Most of my social life was well my support. I came here all the time and I felt comfortable with folks who understood me and what I was going through. Over time I began to meet new sober friends and yes it was nice to go out and not have drinking be the goal of the night. I had tons of offers to go out from others but as a recovering alcoholic.....doing a girls night out with shots and bar hopping just wasn't my bag.
I love my sober life, the sober me and my sober pals here and IRL.
Remember it takes time
Looking forward to the journey!
