I didn't hang out with what you'd call drinkers. I was the one who was a heavy drinker. So I didn't have to go through that whole thing about finding new friends. And all our old friends understand that I'm not drinking these days. So it's not really an issue.

I do go to SMART meetings, but I don't hang around with those folks. It's a great group, by the way. Very supportive and full of characters. Look forward to the weekly meetings.
