SH,

Good job on 8 days! I’m at 6 months noticed a big shift in my friend group around the 4-5 month mark. The people I hung out with regularly (aka drank with) and I have drifted apart. The people who I rarely hung out with (due to my drinking) but had deeper relationships with, are the people who I spend time with now.

My drinking friends have been the ones to make the most hurtful comments, tell me how fun drinking is, question my choice to stop, tell me I’m wrong, etc. I’m not sad to see these relationships drift apart - who needs that kind of friend?

Keep your our head up and your resolve to quit intact. The friend stuff will sort itself out soon enough.
