[quote=Anonymous]I have friends who have always been sober. I also have friends who are in recovery. I think it depends on the person and the friendship. If your friendships previously centered around bars or booze cruises or vineyard tours, it might be hard to continue the friendships. It's hard being the only sober one because drunk people are generally obnoxious to be around unless you're also drunk, and for people whose socialization revolves around alcohol, it seems like it's sometimes hard to connect with sober friends. There are also people who definitely interpret one person's commitment to sobriety as a criticism of their lack of sobriety and act like assholes as a result. It's also harder if your sobriety translates into a total inability to be around alcohol. If you are not able to go to a restaurant and sit next to someone who is having a glass of wine, some friends will not invite you to dinner. I don't think that's kind, but I have seen it happen.[/quote]
