How stand by my decisions, without feeling like I have to be a certain way, to have friends?

Question - (14 April 2013) 1 Answers - (Newest, 14 April 2013)
A female Australia age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have decided to make some changes in my life such as stopping drinking and trying to love myself more so I dont get involved with losers which just leads to getting used and abused.

My concern is that I won't know how to communicate with the people in my life, the ones I used to drink with.

I don't know how to find the balance of being able to not go back to drinking while in their company, but still having a relationship with them.

Do I just cut them off and hope they realise i'm trying to better myself so I cant associate with them anymore?

I guess if they are real friends they will understand. I just wish I could stand by my decisions without feeling like I have to be a certain way to have friends.
