I had to dump ALL of the people I thought were my "friends" because as it turned out they were only drinking buddies. People who really cared about me never offered me alcohol once I got sober for good. Until I deleted all those numbers off my phone and Unfriended fake Facebook "friends" and did a 180 on hanging out with people who drink at places where alcohol was being served it was just a few weeks sober at a time before another relapse. I've got 13 months now. It was the only way for me to protect my sobriety because my life and my freedom and my sanity depended on me staying sober. If I did not ditch the people, places, and things I would have died an accidental death, killed myself, or ended up in jail.

It took at least 6 months for me to feel normal again, everyone's recovery is different.
