I found a lot of friends, even those who didn't seem to drink too much, didn't like the new much as much.
Maybe they missed the old dynamic, or they felt uncomfortable in the new one, I not sure.
I seem to have less friends now...but I need less too.
I'm very happy with the friends I have and the life I lead. I think it's authentically me.
It took me a couple of years to work it all out tho Ven. I think you're doing great
