I didn't read it as judgemental either. I don't judge my friends who still drink, it's more like I see my past self in them and my heart hurts a little when I see them acting like I used to act. And it's a stark reminder of why I don't want to go back to drinking, ever. I am in no position to judge. But that doesn't mean I make a habit of hanging around with my friends if they are hitting the sauce hard. It makes me uncomfortable on many levels. And yes, it gets boring. I also think it might make some of THEM uncomfortable to drink around a completely sober person, so it's better for me to just fade away when people start to be inebriated. Just better for everyone.
