Hi Spiker.
It's not easy.I don't think you're being selfish though-you're taking care of yourself-that's a big difference. I lost a few 'friends' this way too, but it turns out they weren't really friends at all-just people I drank with. They were 'good' people for sure, but our main bond was drinking and I had to walk away for my own sanity.
The good news is some of my older friends remained and support me well in being sober and I've made new sober friends I can hang out with too.So while it may feel like a loss initially?You will find gains too.Give it time but also know we do understand what it's like to feel that loss and it's okay to grieve that loss too.It'll get better.
