Alcohol is the devil and I hate my friends.

[peepsalot]

So I recently decided to go on the wagon for a while. Long story short: doctor says liver is in bad shape(and I'm only 22), and that I should lay off for at least 3mo's and check back with him. Well, I was already depressed before I quit drinking, and now things suck even more.

Every friend I have is a drinker, and they drink a lot(like I used to). Now I go out with them and I feel like an outcast for not drinking. Some of them are cool and supportive, but even some of my closer friends keep trying to get me to drink and it pisses me off. And when you meet someone at a party, tell them you don't drink, It's like you have to give them a ******* explanation, it's not enough that you just don't want to anymore. Alcohol has caused me many problems, so many I can't even list them all, nor do I want to. I almost feel like I have nothing in common with my friends anymore. Almost every time we hang out, it involves drinking. Now I just sit around, watching them act like assholes. My life sucks.

Oh well. Just had to get that out of me (nobody) (encourage

You should never have to be embarassed or explain yourself for not drinking. If it really bothers you, just order something like a Coke and tell everyone it's a rum & coke or some thing

 

[pro00]

dude, there is nothing wrong about not drinking and you don't have to explain yourselfs
I don't drink and when i go out and somebody invites me for i drink, i politely say no thanks, don't drink. if they start pushing, just tell them, again, that you don't drink. don't explain if you don't want to. you don't have to explain your actions.

and coming from a medical side,......dude, lay off a bid. at 22 and your liver is already having problems, it means it is serious. do what is best for the long run and screw the short run. you liver basically as important as your heart for the reactions/de-toxification/blah blah blah for your body.

DON'T GIVE IN.

Get new friends. If your current ones don't understand your need not to drink, heavily or otherwise, then what kind of friends are they?

I remember when I was around your age. I did all my heavy drinking when I was 18 and 19, but I soon grew weary of it. Then I made friends with a bunch of people in their late 20s/early 30s, who often had families and were a bit more responsible.

 

[Sir Nuke]

if the people you call "friends" won't or don't support you and back you up when an outsider would push you to drink...or push themselves....then believe me, they are not TRUE FRIENDS at all....true friends would not only support you....but if they had a clue of what could happen to you if you continue to drink, THEY would be kicking YOUR butt if they caught you with a drink in your hand.....THAT is what true friends would do.

and if you truely don't have anything common with them other than drinking like you mentioned...you do need to start hanging with a different bunch of people. As that is not much to base a friendship on.

You are a loser, your friends suck.

Live with it.

 

[Mike R]

At least you have a reason for a crapped out liver...I hardly ever drank and my liver is failing. I'm 28.


You're friends are assholes if they keep trying to get you to drink. Look on the bright side, all your sodas should be free since you should be the designated driver....

I feel you though, parties just aren't fun when everyone else is drinking and you're just sitting around. Try and find some true friends...most of the people on this board are fun to hang out with, up here we have 2-3 meets a week, it takes you mind off of stuff. All the local Mazda people are supportive and caring when I told them about my liver problems.


Good luck.
