I passed up going to a show the other night that was at a bar because I thought I'd feel uncomfortable, even though I have done it since I've gotten sober. I just feel like everyone else is out having fun and I'm sitting at home alone, reading or watching a movie or whatever. It's hard.
Wow, I'm in basically the same situation you are! I'm also in my mid twenties and live in the SF bay area. All of my friends drink and I have been feeling really anti social as well since I've been trying to get sober. Glad to know there is someone else near me going through the same thing! Feel free to message me if you'd like to chat!

Invest in some good fiction, I spent my booze money on books for my sober months and even when i got back on the sauce i still read. Books bring life to life.

Stay safe.

I got to meetings in Oakland and Berkeley although I haven't been to too many lately- I need to get back to them. Yeah, if I lived in the city I'd probably rarely leave too! Are there any meetings in particular that are really good in the city?
