I just joined today, still trying to find my way around the site....i want to become sober, cant say I am yet. My best friends are heavy drinkers, i wish I could say that i can continue to hang out with them, have fun and not drink, but i think I cant.I hate to lose them. my husband quit drinking last November, and I have noticed that they do not invite us to gatherings as much since then...its tough, I really do not want to lose them, but I do not see how we can continue to be around each other without drinking....
