Eventually the drinking buddies will go by the wayside, it's a sad reality of getting Sober.
But think about the new friends you will meet in Sobriety, also I realised surely a good friend should stand behind an important decision with regards my health, is that really someone I need at those important points in life, who can't accept a simple decision over alcohol?!!
Tough decisions need to be made, but it will all work out in the end!!
