Sobriety Cost Me My Friends. Here's Why.

"If I get sober, do I have to stop hanging out with all my friends who drink?" We got this question from a viewer named Matthew, and it hit close enough to home that we built this whole episode around it. Losing friends in early sobriety is one of the loneliest, least talked about parts of getting clean, so we're getting into all of it: which friendships are actually worth keeping, whether you should bring old drinking buddies back into your life once they get sober too, and what it actually feels like the day you realize your whole friend group was built on using. We also get into something nobody really talks about, the fact that your sobriety will unintentionally hold up a mirror to everyone around you, and that's not always going to feel good to them. If you're scared of losing people because you're thinking about getting sober, this one's for you. Got a question you want us to answer on the show? Send it our way.
