trying to avoid drugs and alcohol while in you twenties is BRUTAL. Even the friends that support me don't fully grasp the temptation and frustration when all anyone does is go out. i feel like i have to completely withdraw from the people that love me to stay clean. very isolating.

I understand that feeling of isolation. I am going through that too. Recovery is hard in the beginning stages especially.

Just messaged you 
I’m 26 and totally relate to this feeling. It’s so isolating! I’m struggling to even bond with my sober friends..

I'm way past my 20's and wonder about this impact on younger people. I can only imagine how much harder it is, which I have posted here before makes me proud of all the younger generation on here wanting to change, abd at times break the cycle they see in their family. I wish I was that enlightened 20 years ago! 
I’ll just say this…… I wish I got sober in my 20’s so HUGE Kudos for waking up so soon in your life. It’s not easy in your 20s or any age group but just think of all the good you have in front of you! Stay strong you’ll find like minded people
I’m 22. It sucks. Even if you hang out with older people they still want to drink
