Real friends, not using buddies

Everywhere I go, I’m surprised at the people I run into. I lost acquaintances—I wouldn’t call them friends—when I became sober. They were just using buddies. Some of them are still out there. I don’t have anything in common with them anymore. There is one girl I used to use with. She’s the only one I know who turned her life around.

I’m grateful for many, many things. I’m grateful to be alive and be sober today. It’s a daily struggle, but people have shown me that there’s a lot of fun in sobriety. You can make friends you can seriously count on.
