New girl in Ware looking for AA/NA meetings+local friends

Ware MA

Description

Hey guys- I'm not sure I'm even posting in the right place but oh well. This is a two-parter request, so hopefully you can bear with me. I'm a pretty recently transplant into the area, and I'm hoping to either find or be directed to any open Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings in or around the town of Ware-along with possibly making some friends along the way. Being the new chick in town is a pretty lonely, and I miss being around people a ton. Unfortunately moving here was sudden after having to leave my old home abruptly, and I know nothing about the area, nor know anyone who lives around here. I'm not going to lie, it's a bit isolating being here and not knowing a soul. And especially being fairly new to recovery, it's made sobriety harder to deal with recently. It's rough having no one to talk to, and I badly miss the people I left back home (along with my old recovery meetings) but here I am, so I'm trying to make the best of it. I'm hoping in particular to find any meetings/groups locally as I'm without a mode of transportation right now, which limits my range of movement, so if anyone knows of anything open around the area, that would be swell. Don't mind rideshares, just please don't harvest my kidneys. I'm fond of them. I'm also hoping to find other people around my age (I'm 28, so 20s and up, though I get along with any age group really) who are either active in the recovery community, or just decent (and funny) people who wouldn't mind befriending a sober new girl in town. About me: -28, female, some tattoos, mildly shy internally but I open up fast. -Can be funny to the point of irreverent, and I like being around people who are easy-going and like to laugh themselves. -Currently attempting to teach myself the drums since I have more time on my hands lately, and cheap but decent drum kit. Being a semi-decent drummer has always been a goal of mine. -I'm huge into music (tool, rage against the machine, led zepplin, etc-though chances are pretty good that whatever music you like I've secretly jammed to). -I'm really big on writing (song lyrics, prose, poetry, you get it.) I've been published multiple times under a pen name and am working on getting my stuff out there more. -Huge bibliophile. -Classic gaming nerd, predominately fantasy-ESO is currently my favorite. -Absolute animal person. If it's fuzzy and on four legs, I love it already. Also: added a photo of me as a cat (stupid, I know, but work with me) to hopefully help drive home that I'm a girl and not a half-naked man from the Bronx looking to get frisky. Keeping myself sober is important to me, because before finally getting help, alcohol and drugs screwed up quite a lot of my life. I carry a lot of regret over it, but I'm trying my hardest to keep moving forward. Gotta grow eventually, right? Even when it's uncomfortable. Finding meetings especially (and people to talk to in general) would be amazing right now, and I massively appreciate anyone taking the time to respond. Don't mind switching to different forms of communication if emailing isn't your thing. Alright, I guess that's that. Hopefully this works. Sorry about the length. I swear I'm not this long winded in person. Thanks, guys. -New Girl
