Hi Annie, friends are friends, drinking is drinking. They are not incusive. If they are true friends they will respect your wish not to drink. Then you will find who your real friends are. You will always have support here and other related sites. If you ever want to chat you can message me. I don't pretend to know anything but will tell you what I've learned. You don't have to go it alone. Best of luck

You no doubt found your support system here. Glad you joined and happy to have seen your post. Props on choosing your own path and making the choice to better your life and take control of it back even when your friends haven’t. That’s a really big and bold move to make by yourself. Make sure you don’t let them somehow guide you back but accept any and all guidance here to keep you in line with one of the best decisions you’ll have ever made for yourself. Way to go Annie! You’re on your way to such a bigger and brighter future :metal:t2:

I know what it’s like none of my friends are sober, the ones that are are married or lead big lives, here in St Louis it would be great to meet a group of sober people to do stuff with… I’m happy to be a friend though all of us are joined together with a common cause, clean living

When I first got sober (like for real this time) I realized early on that I needed to make big changes. That included my friends. I, also, needed to admit that there was a difference between normies and people like me. It didn’t mean I couldn’t have relationships with normies, but I knew that they could never understand or give me what I need like “my people “ could. My AA/NA friends give me that. It takes a while, but if you show up enough, beautiful friendships will bloom.
