I am saddened as I have no choice but to end a friendship. He is an enabler who drinks heavily. Maybe this is a selfish decision on my part. But everything in his life is drinking related. He is a great guy but really the lifestyle is depressing. When I insist that I do not want to go with him to the "all you can drink" beer night, I get called a ***** and other good natured poking.
I find as my sobriety progresses, our friendship is ending. I asked him to go to the movies instead and he said "not unless there is a bar there".
I can no longer drink as it is affecting my health. I am 37 and enough is enough.
Goodbye friend
