John, it's so powerful. I'm thinking back. So when I was in college, okay, I drank a pretty good amount with the guys there. I was in a fraternity, which going back, I never would have joined. But again, you learn. So I did it my first couple of years. I drank fairly heavily my freshman and sophomore year. And then I got to a point where I just felt really empty.

I thought none of my relationships were meaningful. I felt like I did have really meaningful relationships in high school. And I just prayed to God and said, God, I need you. And I ended up starting to really pursue God in my life, find my unique gifts and talents, my purpose. All of that in my life seemed to be more full. However, I did have some of the same friend group.

And every time, every social gathering was alcohol. That was at the center. And I'd find myself drinking and then not feeling good the next day or not being as productive or still not having those meaningful relationships. And I realized I needed to find a completely different social group.

It was almost like I had to fire or break up with my friend group and go find a completely different friend group because I felt like when I was hanging out with them, because I would try not to drink and I felt, okay, everyone else is drinking. I'm the one not drinking anymore, at least only drinking one.

And so I felt lonely, like I was the black sheep of the entire group for a while until I went and found a completely different group of friends. I think that's hard for a lot of people because a lot of us have relationships. We might feel guilty about maybe leaving a friend group behind.

But I think if you don't have, I think about it like this, a psychologist said this, he said, if you wouldn't recommend your own child hang out with them and you wouldn't like love that your kids are hanging out with them, you shouldn't hang out with them as well as one of your close friends.

Doesn't mean you can't minister to their life and you can't support them on occasion, but actually having a deep friendship with them or trying to pursue that sort of thing with them. If you wouldn't want your own child to have a deep relationship with them, then that's not the right fit for you either.
