To be honest, I was the same. Most of my mates were from School / Uni and are now all over the world.
However, for me and Lily, the org has been amazing. The friends we have met from here are now what we would class as some of our best mates. In fact, some we see weekly and travel from Bolton / Southampton (You know who you are!!!

).
My advice, meet up with org guys and gals around near you, there are quite a lot in your area and everyone is a laugh. I can honestly say, I have yet to meet a "bad apple" from the org. lol
