Very relatable.

I would not have had the affair I did if I had not been drinking and in complete alcoholic mindset. My role in the whole thing is definitely something I addressed in my step 4.

I associated with the "wrong" people, places and practices for a long time. Not reprobates and dregs but folks who enabled, encouraged, justifies etc my alcoholism. Most were (are) other alcoholics.

Now I have a ruthlessly cultivated group of friends- and a boyfriend also in recovery- with whom I surround myself. Every single one is a positive participant in my life and their own and supports my sobriety. Luckily my family is more than supportive- they are wildly grateful.

Everything and everyone comes after my sobriety, period. And my life is full of great people.
