When I was a drinker...so were all my social friends
and our activities were laced with alcohol.
We shared the same lifestyles and our goals were non exsistant.
They thought I had no reason to quit ..
they were also drunks....:burns
I cut all ties socially because I knew my fun bottles were empty. Depression was daily.
I made a new social circle with AA members.
We did and do have a sober blast.
Since then...26 of my former friends died from
unchecked alcoholism...
Alcoholism is a disease ...progressive...incurable..fatal.
I've seen this first hand...too darn many times.
