wow.. it is interesting how some friendships seem so perfect until you look back and see the real picture. I have had this happen, my friends wanted me to keep drinking, and stay miserable like they were. As soon as i started working on my mental health they were not longer happy that i was happy. I was no longer miserable like they were..
Here's to new healthy friendships in the near future. Someone who can meet you where you are at, and be happy for your successes in life. (and someone who will show up on time and feed your cats!)
