I used to buy into it too, but being sober does not mean you give up a social life. Last night I went to a new friends place and there were 6 women there - all sober, some for just a couple months, some with years of sobriety - we laughed, ate pizza, helped the hostess hang stuff on her wall. We talked about real stuff - one of the gals is struggling with a thing with her ex - and we talked about fashion, hair, Pinterest - silly stuff too. Today I am grateful to know there are fun and interesting and good people out there who are sober and living life. I met these ladies in AA. 6 months ago I was thinking how I'm the only person on this planet that doesn't drink. I'm so happy I was wrong
. Keep looking for your "tribe", even if it takes you some time to find them.
