Well, anyone with true quality friendship behind them will be behind you no matter what. It is a process, "sifting through" our present "lifestyles and friends" when we make a choice to get and stay sober. I know for me, many of my so-called "friends" supported me but if I hung out with them, they sure wouldn't "fight" for my sobriety....they liked the "old" me.....or tell me I wasn't really that bad.....etc etc.
It is a step at a time...we can't look at it as though we need to revamp absolutely everything over night----but then again if I didn't change certain things immediately,
I'd be drunk right now. This is where a sponsor is crucial...someone we can go to with all these little questions----or maybe even big ones.
As far as continuing to go clubbing with plans of sobriety in mind.....that for me would be one of the things that I would need to change immediately.
I don't go into package stores to buy Pepsi for that very reason....eventually I would surely buy booze. Just my 2 cents
