Cutting out the toxic friends and it's working
Made a big decision to stop hanging out with my college crew who just want to party and complain about life. Realized I was becoming a worse version of myself around them, not praying, cutting corners at work, being distant with my family. Started going to a men's Bible study on Thursday nights instead. Already 8 weeks in and my marriage is better, I'm more patient with the kids, sleeping better. My old buddies think I'm judging them now but honestly I'm just protecting what matters. If you're thinking about making changes like this, do it. Your family will notice.
Just had our daughter and I'm already thinking about the kind of people I want around us. Good on you for making that call early.
