From the Community…

  Find a "Mom group" in your area. They do things like hiking and going to the park. If you have a babysitter available then you can take up a hobby. I love bike riding and snowboarding, or anything active. Volunteerism is always a good thing for the community and a great way to interact with new people. BTW: bars are no place to meet people- those guys and girls are only there for one thing and I am sure you already know what that is.

  Good luck!

  While having children doesn't necessary mean denying your self you still have to think in plural.7 month old is a lot of fun it can be tiring but not boring.It should be your priority though esp if is your 1st there's a lot to learn.

  As Katherine sais if you have a baby sitter you can ascape. Everyone has hidden hobbies and likings. Nature is a great thing for body and soul and therefore you'll have time to discover more about yourself.

  Only if you despise being alone than is hard, if you like the company of you then try it for a while. I walk for miles by myself and my CDs, bike riding is even better. The company of women is great,Yoga,start writing your thoughts. I know writting your thoughts is not active but is going to bring out all the things you like. You'll dicover more things that you didn't know about yourself.

  Shortly after the birth of my daughter, her father passed away and i was left with the same problem and adding to it i was also breast feeding, so obviously drinking wasn't an option. What i realized was this: as much as i wanted to find things to do with my child, to enrich our bonding as well as trying to fill the father void, i needed that time with other adults, no matter what the activity(at first). I remembered that i loved dancing and that i could even do it without having to be drunk! But also developing my love of jewelry making and other various crafts was so much more enjoyable with my child. And have met some wonderful people shopping craft stores that opened up new activities and adventures for us to share as well.

  I totally understand where you are coming from doing the same things over and over again gets a little depressing.I just read a really great article about finding different things to do,the article refers to dating but you can take some ideas and change it up
