3. These are friends I've had since grade-school, though.
They've seen me in every state of drunk (and vice versa - but they all outgrew their alcoholism #jealous)
I can still hang with them no problem because they all dabble in pills or weed now, and those aren't my cup of tea.
So they don't care that I don't drink anymore.
Any friend I've made in the past 3 years, on the other hand, I haven't heard much from. And if they asked to hang out, I'd probably decline because they'll trigger the F*** out of me. They are just drinking buddies. Every occasion I remember with them involve being drunk, so.
^Not to say I don't care about them, I just care about my sobriety more.
