Having got sober young Bob, I know what your saying. I wasn't even old enough to be drinking in bars by the time I reached AA at 19. The age to get into bars them was 20 but I had been drinking in them since 15.

We have to live a different life to others because we've got a disease.

I'd say it is similar to having a life threatening allergy to nuts and all your flatmates liked to eat peanut butter and had jars of it through out the house.

But what other people do is entirely their own business, we've only control of ourselves.

I imagin being around all that stuff 24/7 would be hard at times so take it easy on yourself.
