I'm with Dee here - everyone in my social circle were / are massive drinkers needless to say to succeed I had to change my social circle - daunting yes - necessary absolutely 100 %
Honestly and truthfully from the bottom of my heart there is a life away from that scene - one that is much better given time and when we can finally accept that our lifestyles need to change for us to make this work - it can be done, I'm living proof and finally enjoying things and life for what it really is.
