Being sober around drinkers.?
Is there anything wrong with being sober around drinkers often? Like, they know you want to party but they also know that you're trying to get your life straight but they ALSO know that you want some companionship, is it cool to be around them or is it a lost cause?

I use to drink a lot. I quit over 2 years ago (I'm 25) At first my friends would joke and try to get me to drink and be like 'oh you're just kidding around" but stay string and say no thanks I'm serious. Then over time they get used to it and don't even ask anymore, they respect your decision and it's not even an issue. But it does get annoying once the night progresses and everyone starts getting real drunk, I tend to get bored and leave the party early. But everyone understands and are still my friends. Also, it's good to make a few new friends who also don't drink and can do other activities with you like going for a long hike or something. But yea, if they are your friends it shouldn't be a problem, just be prepared to say no even under pressure and be prepared to get bored a lot. lol but it's worth it, I feel great and never really want to drink again.
By "trying to get your life straight", I assume you mean you're trying to not drink anymore. In that case, I'd say no to hanging out with people getting their drink on. It's just going to make it hard on you to resist the temptation of drinking, especially once they're drunk and start trying to get you to drink as well. Find some sober people to hang out with on the weekends, play some video games, hit up the local basketball court, go see a movie. There's plenty of things you can do without hanging out with drinkers all the time.
It basically comes down to how comfortable you are. If you don't want to drink, why you hanging around with people who would be in this case, 'a bad influence' anyway?
As long as you enjoy each other company, just follow the music flow. There's no wrong or right but just be yourself! Cheers :-)
i don't see any problem with it . just like the other person said make sure they know your not there to be anyone's babysitter and that you want to enjoy your time out as much as they do just without any alcohol
It's fine to be around them, just inform them that you don't intend on being their babysitter.
Have fun(:
thats really a personal choice...people, places & things
