Ive parted hard for the last 6 years. At the very minimum id be out clubbing once a week. I have taken loads of drugs (and had an amazing time)however i feel like im coming to the end of this stage in my life. Im starting to feel like ive been their and done that kinda thing.

I have also noticed that i am loosing interest in my freinds, im part of a pretty big social circle. I have known all my mates for a long time (ten + years) but now that ive calmed down on the partying ive realised alot of my freindships were based on getting fucked up. Alot of the closeness i thought i had was brought on by chemicals. By simply stopping weed for example i have pretty much halfed the amount of mates that i actually see.

Somtimes i feel like im maturing faster than my mates, im soo bored of the group mentality of taking the piss out of each other 24/7. It would be nice to be able to have a serious conversation every now and again. The ladish banter is getting old.

Its kinda depressing to think about to be honest. All of my freinds are drug users. Every single one. Most people i have ever met in life like to get fucked up also. Dont get me wrong, i love a good session, im just getting bored of doing it all the time. I often get the piss took out of me for prefering to stay in and play on my xbox on a friday night these days. Maybe my pals are worried that im not out as much etc, but they have a funny way of showing it. Am i finnaly starting to "grow up"? Or am i depressed? Im 26 btw.

    Yup, they were a group of friends that you had similar interests with. Problem with your interests changing is that you have nothing in common with them. You need to find some new friends with similar interests and move on with your life! Don't let the old friends drag you down, but don't completely cut them out and ditch them either.

    It's pretty common that people get tired of those kinds activities at some point. I've seen many people go through it. And it's a good thing, cause I don't think you would want to be doing them for the rest of your life. You've experienced it and now want to move on. Completely normal.
    And I'm sure that at least most of your friends will realize the same thing soon. It would be a good idea to make new friends though, who aren't always partying or getting high. That way you can actually have real conversations and figure out other things you might enjoy.
