Hi,

Since you have been reading about Personal Development, you most likely have read about the "Circle of Influence" and the impact it has on someone's success (or failure).

People we spend the most time with have a direct influence on us. Think of how you began drinking or smoking ... you were most likely with friends.

Now if you want to succeed, you need to surrender yourself with people who have a mindset in line with yours and, ideally, who have already succeeded. Their influence will help you get there too.

So in my opinon, you need to find a way to spend less time with your current friends.

Good Luck!
René
