This is something I experienced before I got sober. I was a people pleaser in that I would go along with someone out of fear of them not liking me. Since I got sober I am much more sure of myself. Politics is the only thing I have trouble with now. Before the world went to hell in a hand basket it was always that you could have different political beliefs and set them aside for the sake of a relationship. Now, its hard for me to overlook when someone believes something so opposite to what I believe in. I will avoid all I can when it comes to talking about it and have warned friends- "no politics" but if they violate that guideline over and over I have had to cut ties.
