Hi all -
I've been struggling with alcohol abuse for over 10 years now and I have had bouts got giving it up for a few weeks at a time. I done this though talk therapy and reading boards and blogs. I went to one AA meeting and it was ok. But I didn't feel like I fit in. I thinking of reconsidering however, and this is why. I find that my closest network of family also have drinking problems. Or they drink a lot and don't have any desire to quit. For people who have been sober, did you ultimately feel that you could no longer be around drinkers? Not just in friend, but a family member you were close too.
I am realizing that the relationships that I have are detrimental to me becoming a sober person. Has anyone given up on these relationships?
thanks
