Hi Aaron,
It's great that you are going to AA. Given a little sober time in the rooms of AA most all do find some good close friends. Takes time brother. On lonely Friday nights in the old days I started going to a singles church group. Not sure regarding your thoughts on this? But, an excellent place to meet nice (mostly) sober people.
Good luck to you,
M-Bob
