>_>. That's quite a headstart.

But yeah. I only see one sister out of 3 and now even rarely my mom. Besides that I go to one cousins house. I don't do anything else to protect them and myself. If my sister goes back to work, it'll be just my obe cousins again.

Yep. I took a break from social life in June 2019 so I could focus on getting sober. I was already fairly anxious to see people again by the time I started feeling up to reintegrating into society, right around... late February 2020. \_()_/

Damn. Are your friends supportive of you not drinking?

Most of them are. A couple of them just do not get it and try to get me to go drink with them a lot. One of them recently sent me a message about how he misses the old me and it's probably the angriest I've been since I quit drinking. I will not be seeing that person again even after the pandemic is over.

I've still hung out in small groups a good bit. I have a couple friends out every week. They're careful about the virus as am I

Smart. I was about to say, you can't have people like that in a sober lifestyle. But you arrived there on your own. That's good. You know he'd just be bringing up times you were drinking and how much fun it was, using rose colored glasses to make it sound dramatically better than it actually was.

Tis true. I quit drinking years ago and I had to cut out all of my drinking buddies from my life

You havent seen friends since Feb 2020 but you saw friends last summer? What lol? Not judging you for seeing friends, its just a weird sentence.

I saw a friend during the summer where we sat 8-10 feet away from each other on his backyard patio.

I still see my parents pretty frequently since they are both retired so there isn't much risk.
I haven't seen my friends in person since March of last year, though we play D&D online together just as much as we did when we were in person.

Worded it awkwardly. Havent seen all of my friends since then. Just saw the same 2 friends 3-4 times last summer, which has literally been my only social interaction.
