Don't try to forget your friends because their still the people you've known for a big part of your life(or so I'm guessing)It's a good thing that you've quit and that your trying get away from people around you that cant,but maybe you can help them be strong and quit too.
Stay by your old friends side while meeting new people,that you know are into better things that will help you become a better person.But I'll also remind you that if this isn't your first time 'stopping' you may always fall back,so just try to stay strong and know that I wish my sister was as strong as you...And would stop hurting me as bad as she is.But...Dont leave your old friends,I know you said nothing about leaving them...But don't because they may end up needing your help.
Meeting new people is as easy as saying 'hello' to a random person in a grocery store,or asking 'can i get that for you' when they cant get something...It's really not that hard to meet new people.You just have the courage to introduce yourself.

You are very wise to separate from old friends for a while until you become a new person and strong enough to change them:
If you are not careful, the old friend will tempt you to use chemicals when you are down.
Misery loves company; remember this.
To meet new friends, I would try libraries, churches or any other house of worship.
A born again church will have many people who would like to love you and be friends. I find their ego is leveled off when they become born again in public.
Try to wash away your anger and you will reduce the desire to meet too many people just to have company. In this case you will love your own company.

If you were using fairly habitually, you had best stay away from your old friends, at least for a while. You don't want to get sucked back into that life.
Taking some sort of classes is a good way to meet people who might be of like interests.

Libraries, bookstores, food coops, sporting events, dances that are "dry", church, clubs, support groups, town meetings, outdoor concerts, festivals, movies, restaurants, online, at a neighborhood watch meeting, through non-drug using friends and relatives, a matchmaking service, at work, at a coffee shop, while pumping gasoline, while shopping for clothes, grocery shopping...You get the idea!

First of all, I hope you're VERY proud of yourself. You should be!
Its hard finding a new circle of friends, what about going swimming, library, getting a new job.
You could volunteer on a saturday in a charity shop, most people who volunteer are usually lovely and some do it because they are lonely.
Good luck, you're on the right road.
