After divorcing an alcoholic, where do I go to find meaningful relationships, activities, and get on w/ life?

Question

I currently visit Al-Anon and this helps significantly, however, I need to find a new group of healthy friends and activities. I just need a jumpstart of ideas to make this process of divorcing to living alone a little easier.

Answer 1

I would suggest you find a very good outlet to help you build up healthy friendships first, that could lead into something later. There are many things you can volunteer with and meet alot of grounded people. Have you ever thought about trying Habitat for Humanity? Usually if you can find people that are willing to help others, they have a good set of morals. Habitat not only offers free experience you get to meet alot of down-2-earth people. There are many other community things that are going on, to help you get involved and meet new people in a positive manner. Eventually after meeting these healthier friends you can start making plans outside of just volunteer work. Going out to lunch, movies and such. I wish you alot of luck and I am glad you took the steps for yourself to start a healthier life away from the Alcoholic. God bless you!

Answer 2

You don't need someone in your life if you are just going through a divorce, give yourself some time to find your own steady ground, be comfortable with yourself being on your own THEN try to get back into dating and meeting new people.

Answer 3

For starters, if you have kids than you need to put dating on the back burner until they are 18. They need you. If you don't have any kids, try match.com or something like that *OR* try just spending time with friends and doing things with them and things will naturally fall into place. Take time for yourself to get over the divorce. Good luck.

Answer 4
