I’m so disappointed In myself. I just need to surround myself w better people. I gave in to the peer pressure and one shot turned into 7. Headache, nauseous, hung over. 
Ever since my best friend passed away it’s just hard to say no when you’ve been down a rabbit hole. I think I’m just gonna stay inside for a while until I can handle the peer pressure and be firm.

It’s a tough journey when you have to make these changes. Friendship can mean so many different things, but one thing they all have in common is they are about being there for each other, they are about supporting one another in being the people you wanna be.
Take care and take the space you need to be your self, the self you wanna be. Keep asking for help and keep searching. Your heart will tell you when you’ve found a path that works, that’s helpful.
Keep us posted

I told them I was going sober, but I don’t think they take me seriously. Haven’t really had a heart to heart conversation with them about it. But when I kept being offered I was definitely at battle with myself about it and I wasn’t making it seem obvious that it was hard for me to say no. I just gave in.

Unfortunately falling is sometimes a part of this journey. Most everybody here can relate to that. Just keep getting up and learning from it. If you want it don’t ever stop trying.

Friendship is a bit like cooking. (It’s sort of like two chefs working in the same kitchen, I guess ) You spend some time cooking up a certain menu, then sometimes - like you are feeling now - you need to explore new directions, new ways of cooking, new choices. Every cook is free to choose which kitchen and which menu they wanna cook for, and sometimes that means two chefs go in different directions for a time.
It’s not good or bad, it’s just, it’s a new kitchen, a new menu, different chefs you’re cooking with.
It sounds a bit like now is a time when you’re leaving one kitchen and searching for another. That in-between space can be a little disorienting. You’re not quite sure what you’re gonna find but you know you need a new place to cook, a new style of cooking.
Do you know what kind of food you wanna cook now? Who is Tinkkk now? What does she do with her friends? (Camping? Music? Art? Murder mystery dinner parties? [those are super fun]) What does she do with her daughter? (state fairs obviously, and what else? Maybe doing crafts at home? Building birdhouses?)
What does Tinkkk need to learn, to be cooking those things up, with the people around her? To be the chef she wants to be? We humans are great learners. It’s a double-edged sword - we can learn unhelpful / destructive stuff just as easily as we can learn helpful stuff - but the great thing is it’s about choice. You always have choice. You always, always have the power to learn. It’s just about choosing it.
What do you want to learn, and where can you learn it?
