Hey Zoey, I know just what you mean. Early into my recovery I was basically going through the same experience. I had to pass the time with reading, and going to the movies with my only clean friend (my mother). Eventually I started to go to meetings and met people who doing the same things I was. Made some friends and still had fun, despite the fact that I live in New Orleans and there's not much for a sober guy to do. Identify a hobby and emerse yourself in it... A creative outlet is preferred. If your in school join a club. The transition to sobriety is the hardest things anyone has to face and basically what caused me to muster the bravado to talk to strangers was going to meetings. If youre too shy to speek in a meeting I recommend taking notes. Rationalize your thoughts and if you have a question you find even remotely relevant, share it. Sorry about the typos I'm responding from my ****** phone and I'm having a hard time editing.
