FOMO What am I missing?

FOMO What I am missing?

Banter? Hangovers? Intoxication? Excitement? Meeting people?

It's a common problem when it comes to stopping drugs and, in particular, stopping drinking. You have to be honest and really evaluate the relationships and friendship groups that you have. Birds of a feather flock together and If the relationship(s) is based on drinking and drug taking, then very often there won't really be anything else to keep the friendship alive or worthwhile if you stop drinking.

FOMO is very common within these social circles, especially at weekends or when there are larger meet ups. Peer pressure can often become a real draw to break any resolve to stop drinking or using. The problem is that is is all to often these types of relationships with other drinkers and drug users that often keep you in addictions longer than needed. Although it can feel selfish, you have to prioritise number one if your drinking and drug abuse become a problem.

Another aspect of this is the crab in the bucket idea where whenever you try and improve yourself the other users (crabs in this case) may pull you back down into the bucket. It is really important to get very honest with yourself and decide which path you want to follow.
