making friends


so i am posting for the first time ive been clean for two years now and it seems that everyone has their own lil groups of people and they go places and do stuff outside of the meetings im very shy and have a hard time doing that plus i dont work full time and dont have a car either so sometimes i feel left out. i am not sure how to make friends and i need help any suggestions? thank you.

One way to start is by asking people for their phone numbers and calling them up, just to talk.

Dave nailed it.
It was always hard for me to call people.
My sponsor suggested that I develop a support group and the way to do that he said was to go up to someone who had a good message, ask for their phone number and tell them that I will be calling them tomorrow. Then MAKE THE CALL.....
I found that some people were really receptive and others were aloof. But the few who were receptive starting returning my calls and eventually started calling me. We would talk about program stuff at first but then it grew into genuine friendships with people I could really trust. Good luck on forming clean, healthy relationships.
