Anyone else feel like they've become boring to their friends since becoming sober?
I feel like I have more fun (because I remember more), but I feel less interesting to my friends.
I did the vast majority of my drinking at home, alone. Maybe it's because I didn't really go out much before, and now I'm realizing how little I leave the house, besides work and therapy?
Yeah, I don't like getting pulled aside to ask those questions. I went to a friend's house the other day, and she started putting the bottles away like she thought I was going to start twitching and losing my mind if I even saw a bottle.
I used to get the concerned inquiries as well, once I showed my family and friends I was strong enough in my sobriety they stopped asking. Think of it this way… you have the support of the people who love you. They want you to succeed. They want the best for you. They know it is difficult. man you have it great! Be thankful for it.
Drunken idiots are like other people's children or pets. They are okay at your friends house, but you don't want them to come home with you.
