So I’m just gonna come out with this I’m very sad I give off a good outward glow but so bored and frustrated on the inside.

I live in a little town where the only thing to do is go out on the water or drink and do drugs and I’m in recovery and I don’t have a boat, and everyone that I know is out doing drugs the other people that I know from recovery are all lets go get something to eat we’ll talk and then we will go home I am so over this, I don’t know what to do, the only thing I have in common with people I hang around with is recovery and that doesn’t make for a fun filled day, all I’m trying to say is that for years I was all about what other people wanted to do and know that I am focus on my life and doing whats best for it. I have no one to share any of that with. The last person I did have I had to let go of because she was lying to me. I just want trustworthy people in my life to do things with even if its just to go swimming.

Sounds like you need to get out there and try to find some new friends, not always easy in a small town. Try some day trips to new towns close by maybe? Check out some new sights and hopefully you will meet some new faces as well. Or volunteer work, becoming involved in some hobbies that interest you, sky’s the limit! It doesn’t generally take long, you’ll be having more fun in no time. :)

well im sure theres more to do in a small town than drink, drugs or go out on a boat. after all, people flock by the thousands to small towns for holidays to do a heck of a lot more than that.
if youre bored, unbored yourself. theres nothing more pathetic than someone who says theyre bored and just sits around being bored.
lord, i could think of about 27 things to do right now off the top of my head.

thanks for the replys Its just that I do all that but as it stands I do everything by myself and even with 27 things to do, that are fun to do. It just gets lonely when you don’t have anyone really to share those fun times with.

I understand, I have been in the same boat myself and had to make all new friends in a new town. I think if you just get out and about more, without any expectations you will meet some new faces in no time.

yea, it is hard when you dont know anyone. the best way i know to meet people is to join sports teams, or clubs for something you are interested in. maybe theres an active AA meeting in your town you could sneak in on…..;)
