lindsayjane Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 I am working on coming back to the church after 2 years away. Thankfully, I have retained a lot of gospel knowledge from previous years of in-depth study (and my memory is nearly photographic, anyway). Unfortunately, most of my friends and family are non-members or anti-mormon, so I'm hoping to find some uplifting conversation here to help me in my return journey. I have a lot working against me on this side of the screen. Quote

Jbs2763 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 from having been in your shoes so to speak you may have to seperate yourself from some of your freinds, especially if there is word of wisdom issues that you have to deal with and those friends are drinking buddies... been there done that, if they are true freinds, they will not get smashed around you and even ask if you mind if they drink Quote

I just stopped going to the club. I met my friends there and left my friends there. I feel a little bad about it because they're worried about me and I miss the positive aspects of the friendships (and the chance to dance, which I did more than anything else), but I just don't have the desire to be in that atmosphere anymore. I still have good people at work to interact with and there's always the internet, right. Quote
