Need Friendships and Connections in Alcoholics Anonymous (Escondido)
Permalink  
 


I have been sober almost 90 days now. I'm a women supporting myself, have my own business, so I have time to make it to at least 4 meetings a week, but I'm not making connections or friends in the meetings. The meetings here in Escondido are loaded with grumpy people and they make me sad. I just moved and am going through a hard time. I disconnected from all my friends and family because they are triggers for my drinking, so I have been going though things by myself. I have a sponsor but she rarely calls me or doesn't call me back. I see people in AA always talk about their AA friends and how much they help, and I need AA friends right now... I sincerely want to do this program and I am reaching out looking for people with long term sobriety who have been through the 12 steps and sincerely want to help me. I'm looking for people to inspire me, who are happy and joyful in their sobriety. Please, please, please.... I can't do this alone.I live in North County San Diego, Escondido....

Well I don't live anyone near you, in fact I live quite far from you, but you're welcome to add me to your list of friends, message me here, email me, facebook, whatever. and I'm sure you'll make friends in the meetings sooner or later.
