Moral Dilemma: The Drink

MOPEkidD it is possible to change your behavior and to keep your friends. I stopped drinking at 23 in order to go back and finish college, get a job, and to get married. I kept my friends who were still drinking alcohol and doing pot. It took a while for them to accept the fact that I had stopped and had substituted soft drinks or iced tea where ever we went. Here it is 22 years later and they haven't bugged me about drinking since that time I showed them that I quit. They don't drink as much as they used to and now I have two beers a year each time we get together for the Super Bowl. Our friendships were never based upon alcohol.
