Thanks for your post. I certainly can relate to no longer being interested in certain activities or people. It's interesting how the "light bulb" turned on in my head, and I see things differently. I am no longer in the business of accepting unacceptable behavior. From anyone.
I will not watch others drink themselves to a stupor, falling down, vomiting, irresponsible behavior. I will not be the designated driver for a bunch of drunks. I will not allow all the neighborhood drunks to gather in my garage to have their party.
Don't get me wrong, I like these "people", but I will not enable their bad behaviors.
Now, if they'd like to come over and engage in a healthy activity, I'd be happy to be a part of that. And by healthy, I mean anything that does not involve alcohol!
You don't have to tell people you are a different person, they'll probably see that. And what a great feeling to be moving forward in your own personal development, emotionally and spiritually.
Good for you!
