Sober is Boring and I Have Lost Friends
I always preach #sobertnoboring but the more I think about it…
…maybe I am boring.
Maybe my sober life is boring?
Maybe I don’t have to defend this anymore.
Maybe this will not inspire you to quit drinking.
Maybe this is your biggest fear come true.
It was mine.
I didn’t want to be boring or lose friends, and it happened.
Truth be told…
There are people who don’t want to hang out with me since I’ve quit drinking.
I don’t get invited to events that I used to.
I have lost friends since I quit drinking.
Not at first, but eventually.
It’s happened.
Not blatantly, but subtly.
I changed.
My relationships changed.
That’s how change works.
Many people in my life, don’t want to do the things that I want to do.
They are not interested in the same things that I am.
Sometimes, I can’t find anyone to do something with.
