Hi Christine,
There is a lot of truth to "People, Places and Things".
Especially in the beginning of your recovery, because you don't have any clear direction. I have had to spend less and less time with good friends because they drink and if thats the only thing I have in common with them, then I have to let them go. My sobriety comes first, there are definetly a lot of other things that you can do with your life without drinking!
