Sounds like me 25 years ago. I chose to keep on drinking back then. Eventually, the life of the party becomes a lonely party. All those friends will start to go their own way and most will drastically cut back on drinking once college is finished. By continuing to drink, I still became lonely, miserable, and with declining health - everything I knew I could avoid by stopping drinking. Some times when I fee down about sobriety, I go to Wikipedia and look up the List of Teetotalers which is a long list of people who have achieved great things in their life and are sober. Moreover, many are sober simply because they want to be sober. There are many sober people out there, but it can be uncomfortable during the time we realign with them.
