I just did some time in jail- not really a penitentiary, more like a work house- -for a little more than a year.. heroin addiction got me there... anyways, so I get out and I'm clean, but I've got no friends and a horrible reputation from using before I went, and while I live in a city, it's not a huge city.. anyways.. all these factors make me extremely anxious and really unmotivated to get a social life (I have none).. yeah... shit's fucked up..

As someone who has social anxiety,
Just put yourself out there and dont think about it to much juat let things flow naturally.
Try to join a group or club
Pokemon GO has helped alot of people with social anxieties find people that they can just talk to and have something to actually talk about.
Thats if you are into pokemon and have a phone that supports it.

Do you live near the beach and like to go? Go. U can make friends there... Go do some fun shit and make friends that way. I've met friends going out kayaking..if u like that go rent a kayak for a few hours n have some fun..u may see someone there.
I am a recovering H addict and i have horrible panic attacks and anxiety so i understand. I am prescribed a benzo..idk if that's something you can do without abusing it.. If it's not take a meditation or yoga course to help with ur anxiety...u will most likely meet some pretty chill people there who have anxiety too.
Good luck. Welcome home too Peace

Thanks, really, for the suggestions, I don't know what I expected when I posted that, but y'all tried, and for that I'm grateful...
I've been on benzos before, and I just ended up abusing heroin on them; I think I keep failing because when I put myself "out there" it is with the wrong people; I'm surrounded by folks using meth, and I guess I was unable to keep anybody in my life who didn't do drugs... now if they just smoked weed, well I'd be down, but folks getting jacked on real drugs around me just makes me jones for the drugs I like, and then I do them, and I hate that I do them.. I guess that's progress in dealing with addiction... I guess I've got a lot of excuses and not many solutions... Idk..
what do y'all think about the grass-is-always-greener-on-the-other-side saying, idk if I'm just making excuses cuz I don't wanna make my situation work, or if I should work towards moving.. I've lived in the Bible-belt all my life, and I'd like to think a change of scenery would maybe change my perspective..
