If you have found other sober people to hang out with, then that is key in your recovery. A gal shared last night saying she felt out of place cuz she is young and cannot relate. However in NA we have to remember to not focus on similarites not differences.
The most important thing is that you stay clean and sober today and that you are utilizing the tools in your toolbox.
I don't always hang w/ NA AA ppl, much of the time I hang with my Christian girlfriends who don't drink or use anyway. There are some ppl in meetings I just do not feel comfortable at all hanging with because I feel discouraged and not encouraged. I would say pick clean and sober encouraging women to hang with.
She does not own you, she is there to be a guide. Explain to her you just need positive ENCOURAGING women in your life. We get beaten up enough in this world, we don't need to be beat up by our girlfriends, or they are not really friends. (but also keep in mind that we can be way over sensitive at times too!)
Blessings, Sheila
