Apart from the fact that I don’t even know how to make friends especially without drink, I also don’t feel like I fit into the “ sober lifestyle”. I’m not into hiking or mindfulness or yoga or pottery, I find all this stuff boring. I feel like being in the bar drinking with other people is where I belong, I enjoy the thrill of not knowing where the nights going to end, I like socialising with random people Iv just met. I love the chaos, the random nights, drunk adventures, having a laugh. Sober me can’t even ring the doctors for myself let alone socialise with people I don’t know, actually I don’t even socialise with people I do know. The pub you don’t feel judged, it’s just people having fun all in the same room all on some chaos. This is my type of people, these types of people drink though funnily enough.

Unfortunately I had to give up alcohol because I drank myself into liver disease at age 23 🤦‍♀️ but I literally sit inside all day everyday, I knew I needed it for socialising but I regret only have friends I drank with because now I have no one, I’m not trying to be around drunk people as I’ll cave. Like is this supposed to get better, how do you make friends as an adult unless you in a bar or club. It was so damn easy with the alcohol I could talk to everyone and now I can’t talk to anyone, actually I completely avoid any situation where I could bump into anyone I used to drink with.
