Hi Katzen
if you have drinking friends who are keeping you drinking - whether theyre pressuring you or you're pressuring yourself - there's no need to 'break away slowly'...just break.
Anyone who is really your friend will understand
I know I feel like I'm going to be missing out on a lot but I guess its better to sacrifice a few years now rather than feel like many older years are being spent suffering
.
you know when I really missed out on stuff Katzen?
When I was drinking - I didn't go to lots of things I should have cos I was drinking instead, and even if I did go I can't remember 90% of it now anyway.
I missed a few parties sure when I was getting sober, but over a decade later it's not a loss that keeps me awake at night
Stop missing out on stuff - stay sober
