The hardest part
When I finally realized that the folks I was drinking with had absolutely ZERO to add to my life and that being around them was bringing me down to their level, I was able to walk away and never go back. Its not easy to leave behind the people who you considered friends but this is not about them....
its about you and your health.
Your good friends will understand if you lay it out for them but they may still want to drink in your presence. Try to avoid this.
