Hello Browncat!! I'd honestly say that you're doing well to have shared you problem with friends here, we DO UNDERSTAND how very difficult people make life when you don't stay sucked in to their grim world. They HATE it when you used to be their drinking buddy and you change the goal posts, it rocks their world and makes them question what they are doing, though they'd never let you know that!  . Yes, I totally agree, in the beginning when you quite ANY addiction, those fellow addicts can almost turn against you, I've been there many times both with drinking and in the drugs world. This shows the simple fact, they are NOT friends, they are people who share your habits, you're all sharing the babit ~ speaking the same language as it were. In my case I spent every night in the pub with my alcoholic boyfriend. Oh sure, boyfriend was the life and soul of the party and I had a whale of a time!! I know that when you either stop going to meet up to drink or you stop at home, it leaves a very big void and it has to be replaced but NOT by another addictive pastime!!
GMA45 said all the correct things too, so there's some advice and PLEASE come and share here, we'd be pleased to see you hunny.  :throb
