Transition to New Friends

by Debra
(San Francisco, CA)

Hello!

So, I am unmediated and going through the painful process of 'ditching' my old inappropriate friends. That means I don't contact them anymore. Of course, they are not calling me.

The slate is clean. The weekends are bare. My goodness I will have to start running again just to keep my endorphins going. I have NO idea how to make new friends. I only know that it is hard enough to get up in the morning and go to sleep at night and do it all over the next day. I am relatively productive. I go to school full time and work part time. I am depressed.

Yet, I know that my "friends" are incapable of coming through for me for the smallest thing such as picking up the phone and calling ME as I have always called on them and called them up on the phone! So, now that the deck is cleared and I am feeling the pain and I am going to ACA meeting regularly what's the next step? How does one make friends, meet prospective friends?

Thanks!
Debra
