I'd like to also suggest finding a group that does stuff you like.

For me that has been outdoor clubs. It's healthy, I really enjoy it, and I find (as an introvert) it's easy to chat while out hiking compared to other activities.

One caveat is that for me this hasn't led to deep friendships. It has led to interesting conversations and the ability to get out of the house more. If I was at a different stage of life I could make closer friends, as there are beers and meals after a lot of hike, but I typically want to get home to see the family.

Good luck, if you're interested in the outdoors message me and I can suggest some good clubs.

PS: As your kids get older you may find you want to do more with them and it's hard to find time for others. For me that means I struggle to make time for clubs as I love backpacking, skiing and hiking with my family so much.
