I lived in that bubble for decades too. Alcohol absolutely HAD to be part of everything that I did, and I surrounded myself with people who were of the same mindset. Anytime I went anywhere or did anything the first consideration I made was to plant out exactly where and when I would be able to drink.

Once you start getting out and meeting people in the rest of the world, you find that our addictive thinking and our addictive habits put us in the minority. That will most likely mean that hanging out with the old drinking buddy crowd will have to change - but the good news is that most people aren't like that.
