Hey all!
I am officially 88 days sober. I am just looking for new things to do and to be social with people who do not drink.
I am 23 I do live in a college town... one of the biggest. And the AA meetings down here usually seem full of older people that are not really on the same page as I am other than not drinking.
I was just looking for some suggestions.
I really appreciate it.
-Jill

Wow 88 days is a lot of days. Also, 88 days and 88 keys on a piano, coincidence? Yes probably.

Anyway one thing I found is that community athletic programs were a good place because people were light drinkers and there was never any drinking around the events. Plus you can get some endorphins on board from exercise. Yay for the last remaining all natural intoxicant!

Welcome to SR jazzyjilly.

I go to AA and I am older but I am most definitely on the same page as others in the rooms.

Keep going to meetings,try some different ones,lots of young people are in the programme.
