All the friends I have are those that are alcoholics, or those who are still inside rehab. My old friends would be willing to take me back into their circle, but I'm not even sure if I want to be back there again. It took me months before I went sober, and I don't think I'll continue on being sober if they're constantly there, flaunting alcoholic beverages in front of me. I need new friends. What can I do?

Do you have any hobbies? Interests that you haven't yet pursued? Maybe you love singing. Joining a chorale or a music workshop would be good for you. Or maybe you'd like to take painting lessons. Just go out there and put yourself in a place where you can be with people that you share common interests with. Not only would you be learning something new and doing something that you want to do, you'll also be sure to get new friends too. Good luck!
