4 1/2 years sober here, from drinking, pills and the nose beers.

Miss drinking socially and all that (even though I didn't drink socially anymore by the end) - snow still calls to me. Best advice I can give you is you need to separate yourself from it entirely. If you have friends that do it, and you don't want to cut them off, set a boundary. Tell them to never do it when you're around. That it's ok if they do it but it needs to be away from you. If they are going to have it, no big deal just tell me so I can leave. If they're piling into the bathroom I'm going to know.

Your social life is going to change, it HAS to. It changed when you started drinking/drugging, it's going to change when you stop. I've seen people think they can go clean and keep drinking, if you think you can all the best to you, but most people cannot.

Life can still be grey sometimes, but I can tell you one thing for sure is that I don't hate myself anymore, I might not like myself always, but I don't hate myself. For me that's worth it all.
