That works to your advantaged because now you are seeing them for who they are and you know who is truly your friend. They can't stand seeing you improve when they can't. Which is why many people who used to do drugs or drink stop hanging out with those people, they will only drag you back to what you don't to be. Just keep doing what you are doing and if they won't come around and support you then get some friends who will.

Good for you on stopping drinking! You should be very proud of yourself and the "friends" that are jealous are not your friends. Friends want friends to have the very best life possible. You just keep doing the best you can for yourself, the other things will work themselves out. Clean and sober is a good thing!

So your family and friends all drink and now u think there jealous of u and u have new friends.Most people that drank and party with u are still the same.They haven't changed it's u,because u see whats drunks are like and see how dumb u looked.And u see how much better off u are now than then.They are still family and friends but u and them look at the world threw different glasses.

i replaced into only like you, i'm 15 and throughout the time of center college and ninth grade i replaced into fairly depressed. my ideal pal replaced into fairly accepted, fairly humorous, and that i replaced into clone of the 'history' individual. i did not communicate in any respect now and again, i did not stand out. I made 'friends' through her. It fairly sucked, yet like you I also had my personal targets. do not supply up, you have not lived your life yet. those human beings imagine being 'cool' is doing issues a particular way yet fairly your going to be the cool one once you discover those who honestly stay with you for you. i keep in mind that i fairly don't have a suitable to assert any of this when you consider that i'm really 15. yet, I waited and made friends bit through bit. authentic friends. So please only wait somewhat, you're a previous due bloomer is all. in case you ever want someone to study with once you're crying you may digital mail me and that i will come again to you once plausible. you look to be an particularly fairly reliable individual, and that i'd be friends with you if i could. i'm getting fairly reliable grades and so human beings do not verify with me a lot reason they imagine i'd be stuck up. So i wager we are variety of on a similar web page right here. don't worry, keep your head up and attempt your ideal, your nonetheless only a baby and also you've lots of time left.

when we are drunk every one is our friend, when we are sober then we once again think for our selves, and is it possible that your friends and family need time to get used to the new you, this is particularly true if they are all drinkers, it still does not matter you now have chosen a sober life so start to live and as well learn tolerance
