We always should think about family and friends no matter what situation. But sometimes you have to be selfish and think about yourself. What is the point sacrificing your health for joining your friends for binge drinking on a evening out with your friends? If you health is important for you, don’t step away for it so your friends will continue to like you. If the true you doesn’t like to binge drink, then don’t.
It’s not the easiest thing to decline to join your friends on the drinking evening. Going out and having fun is fine, but not if you don’t want to and just do it for maintaining your friendship. Find a way to enjoy time with your friends without feeling forced to do the things you don’t like to do. Propose going for a jog, going to an event or even propose to go out with them, not drinking and driving them home safely. Many things can lead to the same results.
Find out what level of health you would like to strive for and go for it. No matter of the consequences for family and friends. Don’t go for a mediocre or bad health under the excuse of not having to fight family and or friends. There is a fine line to find the balance between health and the people around you. It not an easy task to find the balance, but try to find the life you are happy to live.
