Does anyone else feel out of place? Im just now starting to slow down on my drinking after I turned 21 a few weeks ago bc it’s actually affecting my health now. I’ve been an alcoholic for the last 4 years and I finally just said I’m gonna stop for a while the day after I turned 21. I’m not even planning to be sober forever I just want to be able to drink like a normal person and not lose control. I’d love to be able to just go out to eat and have a beer or whatever without it turning into binge drinking. Now that I’m not really drinking anymore I feel like I can’t relate to any of my friends or even know who I am. My other friends are also alcoholics and they congratulate me on trying to quit but seeing them and always hearing “I got so fcked up last night” or “ I could never do what you’re doing” triggers me. I feel so much better about myself now that I’m not really drinking and I love my friends but i always feel like we’re not on the same level. Does the craving ever go away?
