I have done so many stupid things over the years that I would NEVER have considered doing when sober.
That was kind of your friends to take your feelings into consideration - but I know what you mean about feeling left out. I assume they all know that you have quit drinking?
Yeah, everyone knows. I know a lot of people have trouble coming out and saying, "I don't drink anymore", or "I can't drink anymore," or "I'm an alcoholic," but that's never been a problem for me. I might be honest to a fault if there is such a thing but it is what it is. I'm not ashamed. I have a problem and I'm trying to deal with it.
