Last effort for this app for now

#1

My name is Jake and I'm happy to announce that I've been sober for over a week and I am feeling like I'm over the hump. I could use some support and I would love to make some sober friends whether it be local or international. I love to help people and have that good energy reciprocated. I love the outdoors and all of the arts. Feel free to add I will accept anyone

I've had this app for about a week and I haven't gotten anything worth mentioning out of it so I figured I should post here and see if I can get a response. I've posted on every subject/group that seemed to be for me and I've gotten close to nothing. I'm not looking to date right now or be a sugar daddy. I just need some like minded friends since I've basically cut off my entire peer group since becoming sober. Any suggestions on other social media platforms?

Hey Jake! Glad your here. A lot of folks get one once or twice a day, usually morning and night. Just a good place to post positive vibes. I've talked to a few people here but mostly just posting. Hope all is going well for you, glad your past that week. It gets better from here! Have an awesome night.

I've struggled with forming meaningful relationships here too. A lot of newly sober folks get on, you make friends with them, then they disappear.
I've made a lot of new associations through spiritual practice. I know that isn't for everyone but church/temple/mosque is a bunch of sober people hanging out, so it's an easy avenue to sober friends.
I also used to hang out at the comic shop, made a couple sober friends there.
I'm not real sharp on social media. Other than dating apps I've never had them lead to real relationships.

I've seen you in app over the last few days, can I give you a pointer? In the time I've been here, I've seen a lot of people post a simple "Hi" or an "add me if you want to talk" these messages early on got a hi from most of us. As time progressed those simple HI messages turned out more and more to be bots or scammers. In fact we normally research those accounts to ensure they aren't. If you want meaningful connections, try engaging other members posts and asking questions that need feed back. We hope that you can find the connections you need here, just remember any connection worth making takes effort.
