There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Even if you love your job and it's very benevolent and you work with people etc etc, it's important to have friends at the very least. There's something you can't get from a job where you get paid to be there and/or work with people, even if you genuinely like them, compared to hanging out with people because you like/love them and share a personal connection. Not that anything is wrong with money or anything.

it is pretty depressing though when everyone your age starts posting shit on facebook like "Fifty Better Things To Do On Friday Night Than Going Out"

and they're always things like "catch up on parks and rec"

like seriously, that is not as much fun as drunken adventure with best friends, stop lying to yourselves.

Can't say I've had too many of those. When I was in my early 20s I had maybe a year of those kinds of things before I got addicted to drugs.

I'm pretty isolated I guess, socially. I work and go to school and stuff, but I don't really do anything with anyone. Maybe once a month at most.

But two years ago I never left my house except for therapy so all things in time I suppose.

yeah it seems like you have made significant progress, right? I mean serious drug addiction is not an easy thing to come back from.

Oh, for sure. I'm lucky I never got caught with anything or for any of the times I ripped people off, so nothing legal ever follows me around.

I'm very fortunate that I came back from that and my other psychological issues. Didn't think it would happen. My mom at one point told me she was planning my funeral and "pre-grieving", not because of the fear of me ODing on drugs but because it seemed a foregone conclusion that I would kill myself.

But anyway, how do you go on drunken adventures if everyone is drunk? Taxi cabs are expensive

I've seen this a few times and maybe they didn't mean it to be but it always seems really smug. Like, "I have kids so I'll wait til they're out of the house to have fun. Oh to be young and irresponsible. "
Meanwhile B and I balance our kid and ourselves pretty well, I think.

I dunno. But then there is the very real fact that many many people don't have the means or resources and access to be able to do anything. So. I dunno.

i'm not going out on drunken adventures anymore because i'm more fiscally responsible. i could have a few drunk weekends and waste money on bars and cabs or i could save up for a fun adventure somewhere else for a few weeks. the fact that i'm very close to someone who is sober has an impact on this as well.

i went out today. me and my bro in law's wife, who's my pal, had a glass of wine, then went to a dumpling joint then i treated us to some gourmet donuts. i spent less than $40.

most tuesday nights i go to yoga, then a cheap vietnamese joint and meet my friend at a hipster gay bar to watch rupaul's drag race and have two glasses of wine. i spend about $30 these nights.

life is good. i don't go out for the sake of going out. i would never take back all of those nights in my 20s spent talking over bands i didn't care about while drinking copious amounts of beer or dancing off jagerbombs while on the prowl for a stranger to make out with. life was good then. life is good now.

you realise you're generalising your preferences just like they are, right

why does it have to be a drunken adventure

those have a far better chance at ending poorly than watching parks & rec
