Another vote for meetings...I have gained many sober friends and have become aware of many more sober social events than I am able to attend. I am a bit of an introvert naturally, especially around people I don't know, but it was even easy for me to make friends
. AA peeps are kinda pushy in a loving way, so once I got beyond the "you people are stalkerish" mentality, I am glad they were, my life has been richer for it!
