Hi
I'm at 2 weeks sober now
Everyday mood, energy and clarity gets better and better.
For many many years, being with friends/buddies has involved binge drinking.
Almost zero times where we haven't been drinking.
That's very much the standard/forced culture for many people here in Scandinavia.
I rarely see those people as much as before anyway,
So I wonder if I should just keep my path clean and avoid them.
Start new friendships that doesn't lean on alcohol.
Or try to be with them while not drinking. I'm sure that will not go well.
Drinking is just so embedded in this social life.
I'm pretty sure, when I see them drink, get buzzed and have fun, I will crave it and let go of the control..
How do/did you handle something like this?
Thank you.
