"If being sober means I'm going be alone with no friends the I maybe thats the choice I'll have to make."
For me, drinking left me alone with no friends, with crippling fear, no job, no money, malnutrition and a whole lot of other "extras" at the ripe old age of 22.
Today I make friends easily and have more friends than I can count, most of whom are non-alcoholic. At the start I found a good number of friends in AA, and working the program enabled me to rejoin the human race. There is life outside of a bar, though I never would have believed it. I thought the bar was the centre of the universe, where life happened and if I wasn't there I was missing out.
The truth of it was there was a whole life out there that I was missing because I did not even know it existed. Perhaps that was my first act of faith, believing that there could be something better. And there is, with bells on!
People who cant socialise (I use the term loosely) without being half stewed, are incredibly boring. What's the attraction in friends like that, other than familiarity. You get better, it makes them look bad. They will try and pull you back rather than straighten out themselves. A much better life awaits you.
