Hi Bridgette,

You are a ‘wise’ soul and mature for your age !

Unfortunately, socializing nowadays at any age revolves around drinking ! Not drinking is a good thing – you have realized that at an early age and that is good !!

Anytime you have a different path than the ‘crowd’ you will be alone at times in life….but that is ok.

Having said that, just make sure you don’t get too isolated and fall into depression….that is something you must be careful of. Make sure you have at least a few people that you communicate with on a regular basis, and try to find even one or two friends that do not drink and you can hang out with.

God bless and good luck !
