Hi and welcome Rivenin
I hope the find the SMART meeting will be more to your liking.
As far as making friends goes, I reconnected with old friends my drinking had pushed away, and I made a lot of new ones simply in the course of building a new sober life.
sounds like you need a new hobby - Hobbies are a great way to meet people..,anything else you're interested in, or always wanted to do?
