As of today I am 3 months clean but it just doesn’t feel right. I miss my friends but i get anxiety around people.. I’m scared of how they’ll react. It’s about to be a year since I’ve seen any friends.
I haven’t seen my (former?) friends in ages… a few years, perhaps. My Facebook is -literally- blank of friends… and I haven’t received any requests since I cleared it out during my ‘goodbye world’ period. That ‘goodbye world’ period turned out to be more complicated than just wiping Facebook… which is why I’m still here I guess. Where I am now, I don’t know anybody… so I’m not meeting new friends nor crossing paths with former ones. I have quite a bit of in-person social anxiety… to the point that I shop late at night, do as much in e-mail or on-the-phone as I can, and try to keep conversations short. I do miss my friends… I’m just not sure how to move forward with that.

PS: Congratulations on the three-month-mark for being clean. No doubt, it took a lot of work and you deserve quite a bit of credit. Nice.
