Does anyone know of any outlets or hip social groups that do not involve drinking?

I don’t want to go to AA and be preached at, I want to go where people are friends trying to improve their lives and support each other while doing so. I want to find some new friends with goals and striving to achieve. Please Help!

I would find a group that doesnt focus on that - what are your interests?? Hiking group? Book club? Also, may want to consider volunteering - my guy volunteered at the mission helping to feed the homeless and met all kinds of cool people….

I just saw the ‘goals’/striving to achieve piece ….do you have political or civil rights interests? think about joining ’cause’ groups if so - i got involved in moveon dot org - they are HUGe pro civil rights group….All of the people i met through that organization are successful/striving people….how old are you?

you may want to consider getting into sports classes/local Y - athletic things…i know people in those crowds also can be into drinking, but not all of them….keep at it - you’ll find it….we dont drink much either and you really can find fun/cool people….yoga is a cool crowd / very alternative…if you’re into God, pursue that scene…

Thank yo for all of your replies. I do have hobbies but they all seem to involved or end with drinking. I Play Rugby, Coach Rugby, Play Soccer, and Coach Soccer… Thank you for the politcal piece I am going to look into that. you said its moveon.org???

About God, I am a very spiritual person but I don’t want to have to talk about how spiritual I am and how great God is 24×7… He/She is great we all know it but I don’t want to hear that you found a penny on the subway and it how blessed you are that he put it there just for you. Sorry bout that rant but it really does drive me crazy…

I just want to have responsible friendships. I can’t withdraw from society completly…
