Hi Sassu! Yes, I feel the same. I knew it was coming once I got sober, and although there are feeble attempts by some of my old friends to keep connected I can feel them drifting away one by one. Gone are the days of us all pretty much doing anything together because I've learned over the last 9 months that I don't particularly care for drunk people.
I had a full social life of travel, casinos, parties, concerts and just holing up in hotels to drink and do god knows what. It was all fun - until it was not. It is still fun for my friends though and I can't do much about that.
I think AA is a great move - I used it a lot in my early months and it saved me in various ways. But, as I gained some traction and took what I needed I found that the good folks here in my area who attend meetings are VERY into the program and do not socialize with anyone outside the rooms who is not as dogmatic in their lives. So, I don't find company there but I do enjoy meetings and will attend when the desire strikes.
I think we both just have to keep looking and trying new things to build up a social network again. It's lonely here in the land of clear eyes and clear heads but I will take this over what I had become any day.
So, guess this is just a very long way to say you are not alone and I share your experience. Lol!
