Just because everyone says it, no it doesn't mean they are right!!
For me focusing on my Sobreity meant making some tough decisions about activities and people, and I probably looked like I was retreating away on my own, more introverted, less sociable, a complete change of routine away from bars/clubs/nights out . . . soo I'm sure I was criticised in some corners.
But Sobreity was about life and death and at some point we have to stop worrying about other people and finally, once and for all care about ourselves, something I hadn't been doing for years through drinking, so if that meant people not liking it then tough, I was doing this for me and not for them.
Holding onto our conviction to remain Sober is tough, but we gotta do what we gotta do!!
Hang in there Stewy!!
