[quote=Anonymous]I come from this from many angles.

1. Maybe not. It depends what awful things you did before your sobriety and how many times you have tried to be sober. I may wait until you can show that you have been sober for at least 6 months, maybe a year. If it is your 8th time through rehab, longer, maybe never.

2. Probably if I did not know you when you were drinkings (my BFF is 25 years sober). Sometimes though, she expects me to order wine when I don't want it because she is afraid I am not drinking because she is not.

3. Why do you want these friends. I find sobriety is really hard if you don't change your life style. If  you just go back to hanging out with your friends that go to wine festivals every Saturday, it is really going to be hard.

4. Remember ... people may be afraid to invite you to drinking events... dinner party, football games, etc. They don't want to tempt you. They may not be trying to leave you out but they are trying to be sensitive and in turn are insensitive.  [/quote]
