I'm not onedof those people that thrive on alone time...in fact I adore the chaos of being in a big group of people. I was single when I got sober and I am single now at 11 months and I am just stating to get back into the dating pool.
I am really glad that I did not get into a relationship when newly sober. I drank to combat loneliness (in part) and getting into a relationship would have meant I didn't deal with stuff. Instead I spent the past year working on myself and am a better person for it.
To combat the loneliness I rediscovered hobbies, redecorated, worked out and spent an insane amount of time here.
I still don't enjoy being alone but I like my own company and being alone is no longer the catastrophe it seemed when I drank.
