"Friends" and judging me
Some (or most) friends have been supportive with my choice to be sober and not go out with them or to avoid events where I could be tempted. But then there are others who insist on their sense of entitlement to tell me that I am wrong, or that I shouldn't be doing it, so on and so forth.
My anxiety is through the roof right now as my best friend is texting me non-stop about how "AA is horrible. They aren't actually helping you. They are just making you recite 'laws'. Why would you even bother doing that? Just 'cause you drink doesn't mean you have a problem. You're being ridiculous. Just stop going out. Who cares. You're overreacting."
It's so frustrating to not be supported and to be judged in such a negative way when it is my life, my decision, my body. And most importantly: they are not me.
I feel absolutely horrible and sick to my stomach.
How does one deal with these negative friends? Remove them from your life?
