Congratulations on being so wise at such a young age. If you can stay with it, you will not waste many years of precious life as so many of us did. In the beginning, sobriety can be a lonely place. I know it was for me. But then something happened at about 4 months. I guess I got bored and started to branch out and get more active. I started doing some volunteer work on weekends, signed up for a half marathon, took my dog to a class. As a result, I met some new friends and came out of the isolation I was content with while drinking. There are plenty of great people out there who are more into having active fun than drinking. And having fun with no hangovers ever...is the absolute best! Hang in there aleak...get active doing things you would enjoy without the booze and you will reap the rewards.
