Hi ChiCubs-

I also found that I got little support from many around me. Once I realized that I had to do the sobriety thing for myself and myself alone, I began to realize that I didn't need their support (or lack of support).

This was hard, but time sober made it better.

Today, I have over a year and I have plenty of friends and many who never knew me as a drinker. So, it takes some time. You will still have fun without alcohol, so don't listen to anyone who suggests otherwise. Take care.
