i will say this, i have done more than my share of the drugs,sex and alcohol thing..but keep in mind that the type of people you deal with in the drug world are quite different than the people you meet in everyday life. 99% of the people you get high with are only around for the high and are not true friends, think i'm kidding, tell 'em you are not gonna get high with them anymore and see how much they come around. there are lots of different activities you can do that don't involve getting high...you can visit art museums, go to movies, hang out at a local park or beach, local sporting events, different types of fairs or music festivals/concerts(obviously some people like to get high to do this,but just a suggestion) fishing, hiking, kayaking, rock climbing and working out at the gym..lots of options the list goes on and on you just have to chose those options..i can tell you you will meet a lot different type of people at a health club, likely someone more trustworthy/compatible that has a common interest other than just getting high. i too have made a bad habit of trying to get close to the wrong kind of people & have paid for it more than once, so i totally understand where you are coming from, look back at your past friendships/relationships and see what is it about these people that you decided to get close to them & more importantly what makes them the wrong kind of people....hope this helps!
