I really had to make changes in my early recovery. Hanging around my old mates was a recipe for disaster cos they all drank drug and partied like I did.
I mad new friends, I reconnected with old friends who didn;t drink like I did, I followed new interests.
I wasn't a hermit...I just didn't go to places or hang around people who weren't good for my recovery anymore.
In time, you be able to go anywhere and be fine - but you start weight training with the lightest weights not the heaviest...build up those sober muscles guys
