I have been sober almost 24 years. 99% of the people I knew then are gone. I have a friend since 3rd grade that's about it. The people who are supposed to be in our lives will be. My inner circle has gotten smaller and smaller. Same with my outer circle. I like it that way. I decide who is in my life. Anyway I know I'm just a crack head on here so take all this with a grain of salt.
