Chin up Ach.
Why not try abit of Internet dating too get your mind of the lack of company? I personally used to enjoy back in the dating days (which looks like iam back in again) to dress smart, and just go out and have a good conversation and dinner with a woman no matter how busy I was. At the end of the date you do come home with a positive experience and a distracted mind.
And even if I knew we didn't match from the beginning of the date I still made sure to be a gentleman and make she leaves with a good impression. Dating is supposed to be enjoying new company without expectations.
unfortunately so many ppl put heavy expectations on a first date and always leave disappointed.
Sounds like you can take the steps considering your quite far ahead being sober.
And dont forget, 31 is regarded as prime realestate for woman that are a few years younger then you. Chin up man, Good luck
