I've stopped all contact with my friends as I hate drinking. They like drinking but It gets me down but now I'm so bored, I go the gym, work full time...My friends like drinking but if I want to be happy then I must avoid them. I've not spoke to them in 7 weeks therefore I have not touched a drop of alcohol for 7 weeks and I feel good....just bored! I split up with my gf a year ago and I've been getting out of debt since, I'm out of debt at end of January which I'm proud of my self for doing so...I'm paying about 1200 a month to get out of debt so this year has been shite....can anyone relate in there own personal experiences? thanks
