I know that feeling all too well. Now that I'm sober, I realize I don't really have any friends, but it sounds a lot worse than it is. I occasionally hang out with a couple of friends, we go to lunch or take a walk, but there really isn't a connection like I used to think we had. I'm actually enjoying the amount of alone time I'm getting because it gives me more time to focus on myself. I'm not using alcohol to try to be someone I'm not to impress others, and it's pretty awesome.

Besides that, my fiance is the most supportive person in my life. Our relationship has improved a lot since I've stopped drinking and he's my best friend.

I think you could benefit from taking some more "you" time, and I think maybe the new friends come later. It's definitely harder to make friends without the alcohol, but I think we'll find more meaningful relationships with others this way.
