If they can't handle the real you, are they really your friends? Maybe you don't know how to respond because you don't want to get hurt again?

We all make mistakes and drugs and alcohol make me lose good judgement. Everytime I had a three or foursome I lost all the so-called friends. I never was the one who wanted to do it but got talked into it especially after getting bombed. Which is why I don't drink and drug anymore....actually everytime i drank i got into some sort of trouble and usually not sexually but breaking dishes and stuff. I am two weeks sober and clean. I've had ten years clean broken up into 2 year periods with a few months relapse in between.

Your friends aren't perfect either. Just take it slow and give yourself time until you intuitively know the right answer regarding the old friends coming back in.
