When I was a sophmore in high school, I dropped out because I started using drugs. Now, four years later, I am clean and I see that I don't know how to hang out with people being sober. I was hanging out with a girl from my class yesterday and I realized I am a boring person I haven't had any friends since I stopped doing drugs almost two years ago, cuz the people I use to party with think I'm a sell out for quitting and the kids I went to school with probably think I'm lame for dropping out. How can I get my old fun, outgoing self back? Help please,

I have my GED, the friends I made there don't live in the same town I do.

sorry your having a tough time. the best thing sometimes is seeing a couselor, having someone to listen to you and not judge you is a wondrful thing. also lighten up on yourself. you will come back with time. the more social things you do the better you be at the whole friend thing! i am so glad your clean now and you really want to do something with yourself. get out there and just be you!! you'll make friends in no time.

In order t o get your fun back first you have to think of yourself as a fun person. Next just because you are sober it doesn't mean you have to stop having fun. Continue to enjoy life, go out and party maybe once or twice a month. Find new friends there are many young adults out there who wounld enjoy having you as a friend. Believe in yourself. Good luck I know you can do it.

see these are the problems of drugs, as u have heard a million time already probably, but i have had problems developing social skills myself and i found that it takes quite a while to develop good social skills and the best way is to be very outgoing not shy and anyone who has a problem with you screw them, cause they haven't been through the things you have so go to school again and finish it and show everyone that u arent a sell-out.

Join your local NA group.. Getting clean isn't just about getting off drugs.. It's a whole life perspective thing.
