No Party Regrets
Ya know, one of my friends told me they were sorry I couldn't come to their party the other day. (I knew there'd be alcohol so I declined). He said they had tons of liquor and knew I would've loved it. (They know how I like to drink, I suppose my reputation precedes me.)
I told him I was sorry I couldn't make it but I just couldn't get along with one of his friends. He asked me who it was that I couldn't get along with, so I told him... you're buddy ALCOHOL. And then I walked away. I think his jaw dropped to the ground. It was great. lol If felt good to not go and then shock everybody because I didn't. Make sense? Oh well. I'm cool with it. I don't think he knows what to think of me anymore though. haha

Once I became a non drinker...
I too quit hanging out with drinkers.
I found a new set of sober friends in AA
we share the same goals and lifestyles.
We do all sorts of interesting activities
and now I know what happened
Well done on your sober time!

I knew who my friends really were when I got sober. The ones I told I quit drinking, and that I had a problem acted concerned, but stopped calling me.
Then there were 2 or 3 that I knew were my real friends that offered their ears to listen and support. They even offered to go with me to AA meetings.
Hard times can show who your real friends are.

Lol good 4 u 6yang! Like the way u put that too - may have to use that one in the furute myself!
I agree with signal there- i am really starting to see who my real friends are now too, getting sober is such an eyeopening experience - it really does give a new way to life- for me anyways. I love being sober right now- and i love .A.A. for giving me that chance! (sorry just got so much gratitiude right now- wanna share it!)
