Congrats on 18 days Fiona.
Several folks in this thread have mentioned having no sober friends, losing all thier drinking friends, etc.
You know one of the best things I have found out in sobriety is what REAL freinds are and what drinking buddies are. A real friend if I tell them I have quit drinking will support me in my decision, if they have me over they will not drink nor try and talk me into drinking.
A drinking buddy once they find out you will not drink with them is gone!
I have found good solid sober friends in AA, fun people who like doing fun things, not sitting in a bar or at a party getting drunk, they enjoy living life!!!!
I did not lose a single friend when I got sober, I lost drinking buddies, I have gained a ton of REAL freinds in sobriety.
