Today, I've been one year sober. My health has improved a lot, unlike my social life, which has died a horrible, lonely death. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my one-year anniversary of being sober. For the occasion, my father decided to spice-up my non-alcoholic cocktail with booze. I didn't realize, and drank it. FML
Today, my mom celebrated a year's sobriety by having a couple of beers with her boyfriend. FML
Today, as a recovering alcoholic, I called my brother to share the news that I've been sober for a month. He invited me to a bar to celebrate. FML
Today, I'm celebrating one year of retirement. Also, almost one year of recovering from a broken leg, quickly followed by a broken hip. I may never walk correctly again. FML
Today, my uncle gave me a very expensive bottle of champagne at a celebratory family event. We were celebrating me spending one year sober. FML
Today, I celebrated my friend's 5-month sobriety milestone with her by getting absolutely wasted. FML
Today, after two years of chronic usage, I’m 26 days sober off weed. About 2 months off nicotine. One year off psychedelics. But I’m more bored, lonely, sad, and frustrated than ever. Connections scares me as much as I crave them, and what connections I do make barely scratch the surface. I'm doing my best but it feels the worst. FML
Today, and since I graduated, I've realized how truly lonely I am. I haven't seen my one best friend in almost a year and I only leave the house to go to work. Not to mention I no longer enjoy things I used to love doing, making me even more sad and bored. Social anxiety and depression will do that to you. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I've been "spending too much time at the bar." I've been sober for 2 years. FML
Today, after 25 years, I quit drinking. It wasn’t worth it. My life and everyone around me still sucked. So I started up again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just goes to show that those people weren't really your friends. There are so many other things in life to occupy your time..... You don't need a type of drug to have a good time.

Because if he'd said Jägermeister, then it would be understandable.

A lot of people are assuming OP's friends ditched her. Maybe she just stopped meeting up with them as it's difficult to be in an environment when other people are drinking and you can't. It's no fun being the only sober one.

Even so, they DID ditch OP if they were not willing to meet up in a save environment and without consuming alcohol.

I had to click YDI, because your life is getting better every day and does not suck. Stand strong my friend.

I see where you went with that, but only now hopefully other people will.

If your social life died because you don't drink anymore, then I think the social life you had before was toxic and unhealthy and you're better off without it.

You can easily have a social life without being drunk. Join a church or something and meet new people that have a good influence on you

I have faith in you. You can do this. Make healthier friends as you improve your health. It may be hard but it WILL be worth it.
