I'm in two servers that are exclusively for people who are drunk. It's fun! Sure beats hanging out with recovering alcoholics. Those people are incredibly depressing

Not really sure why you've posted this, as it doesn't seem to fit in with the spirit and ethos of the board, I'd be grateful if you could explain.

I want to stop drinking, but I don't see the problem with hanging out with people who are drinking. It doesn't trigger me. I actually don't get any physical cravings for alcohol because of my traumatic brain injury

You stopped drinking three years ago but you want to stop drinking? Which is it?

I personally wouldn't hang out with people who were drinking, because I find navigating drunk conversation gets kind of boring after a while, I would hang out with people who model the behaviour I want to display. This means I tend to hang out in spaces that talk about reading, sewing, crochet, or long-distance walking, spaces where neither alcohol or not drinking are the subject. if people do start talking about sewing and drinking, I drop out of that part of the conversation.
