82 days sober and feel like Im missing something...
 

So far going to AA once a week. I have no desire to drink and am content with my life, I just feel like I am missing out on life somehow. I do the same thing every day. Work, home, eat, sleep...repeat. Ended a relationship a few months ago and miss being in one. I felt more alive and real when I had a mate. Now...I feel invisible and boring. I know this sounds like pity party but I wanted to share my feelings instead of keeping it in. I have a really great life, great health, family, o.k. financially...etc. AND I am very very grateful to have 82 days sober. But, what's next?

Congrats on 82 days. Just give it time and you will meet the right person. I believe it.

In the mean time you can always hang out here.:ring

try to have some fun when you can

as far as the above mentioned
pretty common for all living ones

some call it life
it truly is what (we) make it

try working those steps.

we miss our friend Al K. Hall......

Keep moving forward in life and sobriety!!!

Try some different recovery groups maybe? Since you only have one AA meeting a week, and you're single, you probably can add in other stuff (Lifering, SMART, RR, SOS, etc.) - I mean, why not, right?

Of course, if you only like AA, maybe you have time for an additional 12-step meeting or two in your week, maybe do some service work, etc.?

How about other volunteering? Learning a new skill or hobby? Redoubling on your exercise program? Taking some classes?

Anyways, 82 days is super-early recovery. You need to focus on getting more time under your belt, building up your sobriety-muscles, and being patient. Life will change for you (it already is, you're just so early at this you haven't noticed it yet).
