FWIW, I lost a lot of "friends" and "friend groups" when I entered my recovery journey, and would do it again in a heartbeat. There are no dress rehearsals in life and it's too precious and short to waste time trying to appease others to keep them in your life. It's a waste of time and energy at the time you need it the most, to be honest. I've found that my closest friends then are still my closest friends now, and my family relationships are almost all still the same.

Through my different avenues of my life's journey I've found one thing - those who care will find a way to be in your life, and those who don't, arent worth the trouble.
Cheers to this^^^^^
