I'm going into my 4th month sober and I'm starting to realize there's a few "friends" I'll have to let go. They're not getting it. I'm starting to get irritated at having to explain to them why I'm not drinking anymore and I'm getting really tired of them ridiculing me. I've had plenty of time to think and compare my life with or without alcohol and I've come to the conclusion that I don't want to drink anymore, my life is better. I feel like I've left the Matrix, it's been a really weird experience.
Me too. But my friends do not say anything. The hard thing for me is me is when I hv to sit there on my own back deck for 5 hrs while friends are hving a drink-a-thon

I completely agree. It was until 9 years in that I began to address boundaries, but it turns out it was a major/core issue for me.
This helped me a lot today ❤
