Hello and welcome!

You said you are going to meetings. While there, speak up and share as much as possible, connect with people. It's pretty easy to make sober friends at these meetings

Ash, you said you didn't want to go through making new friends, and I totally hear that. Just so you know, what Brandi said is completely true. If you're going to meetings, and you're doing the deal, the fellowship of AA is there in full effect. The best advice I've got for you is to find a meeting you're comfortable at, and make every effort to be there every week. The more the people in that meeting see you, the more they'll know you, and the better you'll feel. Hopefully. And, as it goes with every newcomer, I am so glad you're here. Welcome!
