How do you deal with friends who don't include you in anything since you quit drinking? It's been 4 years.

They continue to tell you how proud they are of you and how great you look, but that's all you get. It's like you have a disease. You are the same person. You just don't drink.How do you deal with friends who don't include you in anything since you quit drinking? It's been 4 years.
make friends in AA





by the way, if you are still the same person you were before you quit drinking, you are in danger of starting drinking again. take away the alcohol and you are left with the reasons you drank. these include resentments, anger, and fear. it is obvious you are resenting your friends, angry they are not responding the way you expect them to, and afraid of not finding the acceptance you cannot give yourself.

Congrats to you. You should be very proud of your accomplishment and growing up with a father who is an alcoholic, who in his dry out times required by trouble. He went through the same thing. It sound like they were never your true friends to start with. Move forward and find some people worth your time.
find yourself new friends, cause when i stop drinking i told my friends and they supported me in everything and they always invited me everywhere, i dnt need to drink to have fun...





sorry friend but those friends are bad influence for you...





=)
do you have to be invited to hang out with them?? You could actually be a good influence on them, if that does not work just start looking for new friends. Good luck and God Bless!! Stay sober!!
Short answer-Get NEW Friends!


Where?


How about in Church?


Wow, isn't that a RADICAL concept!


Where do you find one?


I'm glad you asked, just check out the helpful link below.





1 John 2:19 ';They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.';
they way i see it is that if they were good friends they will be supportive of you. Ask them to go do someting that doesnt involve drinking.


or i have alot of friends who quit and are strong enough to not drink when they go out withus that still dodrink.
Maybe you shoudn't demonstrate that you don't drink anymore. I have many friends that never drink but they have never emphasize that ...
Make new friends! I remember when I dried out, I wasn't getting called to hang out with my old buddies either. But then again, they were still drinking while I wasn't.





I took me a while to realise that without the drinks, they weren't any fun anyway.





While I was still drying out, I had already made a few friends at AA, Church, and to local coffee shop where they had open mic nights and poetry readings.





By the time I noticed that my old friends and I were drifting apart, I already had new friends to comfort the loss.





Please don't dillute yourself to thinking that you can still hang out with them while they drink and you stay sober. I think that the the statistic is something like ';people are 90% more likly to relapse into addiction while being around other using addicts';. In other words, the more time you spend around people who are drinking, the more likly that you'll start to drink again.





I hope this helps.
