Thanks!
I appreciate your comments and thoughts everyone. I just really felt good to put that down on paper/computer screen
I do take sole responsibility for drinking so much, but I do think that we assimilate to the people that we hang around sometimes, especially if our boundaries are not solid… I. E., Soon after a divorce etc.
The dynamics of our relationship have changed, and I realize I am the instigator of that change by not drinking. Quite frankly, I am saving my life and I’m so glad that I am. I don’t regret one day.
Thank you all again.
