I had to change a few things in my life - a lot of my drinking buddies drank like I did so we came to a parting of the ways...but I reconnected with old friends and made new ones.

Part of most obsessions is the need to share about them: ie, hypocondriacs going on and on about their illness....alcoholics forever explaining their drinking. Most people care as much about my drinking as they do about the Patriots winning today. It's hard for me to accept that others just dont care. Part of my self centeredness is assuming that others have the same interests as I do.
