I don't mean to sound harsh... but I'd re-think the word 'friend' then...
People change, things change... it's hard, I know this... I've dealt with it daily, then weekly, then every weekend, now maybe once a month that I go out…if that
I opt to not put myself in situations where I'll be tempted or pressured…but I’m different and so is my lifestyle…
You can go out and NOT drink…or get wasted, you can do things to have fun not involving drinking...maybe you need some new friends that share your interests... "Make new friends...but keep the old..." (if they were in fact friends and not just drinking buddies who are only fun when they're drinking.... knowwhatimean...)
Bunny said it so well....I know you're feelings are hurt & it's OK for you to feel that way &/or angry about it......but your health is more imprortant. And if they were true friends to you -- they'd support you 100% in your quest for better health.
I love drinking too & my hubby is a drinker. Plus I have friends who drink also - often. I am now at the point (after months of cravings) that I don't really miss it & don't find it necessary to have fun. However, when those around me are toasted -- I find them annoying....oh well.
