You know, that addiction isn't any different that alcohol addiction. I'm a recovering alcoholic and I've got almost 18 yrs of sobriety. I have to live in a world where other people around me drink. If I want to belong to the world, I have to be able to say no.
When I first quit drinking, I just didn't go places that had booze. I didn't associate with people who were drinking -- and if they didn't understand that I was trying to quit drinking, then too bad for them!!! It's the same with you -- you're going to have to stay away from your playmates for awhile. You've got to get some sober time under your belt. Your best bet would be either to go to NA or AA. Most people prefer AA. They'll help you all the way. But you've got to want sobriety more than anything else.
Try some meetings - take what you like and leave the rest. If you don't like one meeting, try another. But at least TRY. I wish you the very best. God bless. Hugs, Lee
