There one was a time when the SCA was nearly my entire social life. And then my personal life had its walls cave in and there was no time any more. I was amazed by two things. One was how many "close" friends forgot me at once, when I couldn't make it to the floating craps game that is the SCA. The other was how many close friends I really had, who I had met in the SCA and who I kept. And who kept me.
You make new friends. It's just a transition. You find new, good ways to spend your time.
I still "miss" the SCA. If my weekends were not so full with my wife's new small business, I'd probably attend more events. My life is better for having done it, and not significantly worse for having stopped.
(Between the two of us, and our employees, we attend between one and five farmers markets or customer events most weekends. That doesn't leave a lot of time for funny clothes. :-) )
