I'm in the AA group too. This last weekend, 4th of July, my local area had a Marathon. Meaning lots of different people sharing. Homemade BBQ too! THere are so many ways to be active in our new life of sobriety. Fun activities with the friends you make in recovery. I isolated in my drinking. Getting out to meet people again, not easy.

There's this thing in recovery called 'contrary action', for example: I don't want to leave my house, I'm fine watching TV by myself. ACTION: leaving house and going to that meeting. After Meeting...boy, I feel so much better! Maybe next time I'll join some fellows afterwards when they go to get a snack.

There is a solution.
