Good share, real issues experienced during recovery, especially those with friends we used to drink with. Think you’ll find that your friendships will go through a natural reshuffling as you and your values change in you walk. As this happens, avoid making judgements about others and keep the focus on what you can directly effect and “...to accept the things I can not change.” You’re doing great and wishing you continued success!
Robert Sherrow I appreciate that very much! You are right- I need to keep seeking that wisdom to know the difference. Saying goodbye to the old friends wasn't really the hard part, learning the new habits and finding the new outlets for entertainment is the hard part(s) for me. I know we are all wired differently. I am so thankful to have the attitude to quit drinking. I pray that it continues to grow and I am able to pass down to others what I have learned- just like you guys do for me. It feels so reassuring to be part of the family!
