Single people looking for other single people usually does involve a club or house party with alcohol. Maybe there's other ways or places to meet people that don't involve alcohol but us being accustomed to the drinking crowd we don't really know where to look other than those kinds of places? I've never been much on the club or house party scene even when I was drinking but somehow I always got dragged to these enviornments by friends.
I noticed me not drinking was a big deal for about a month, now they've kind of excepted it. I just tell em I'm on the wagon trail for a while. Would love to say it'll be forever but I don't want to set myself up for failure. When they ask how long I'm riding this so called "wagon" I just tell em I'm not sure. Good luck to you and your journey as well.
