Loner?

I was just wondering if anyone has thought they are becoming a bit of a loner through this program? For years I was skinny and wanted to get big but when around my friends I would always get hammered and never eat properly or even go to the gym! Well by June this year I changed all that, and moved to a new area with my parents away from all my university buddies on purpose to concentrate 100% on bodybuilding. The only friends I have here are the guys in the gym. I am so obsessive about the program, that when my friends asked me to go up on the weekend I really didn't want to. I forced myself to go and had a good time, but even when I was hammered I was still thinking about the gym and how much I'd rather be in there right now! The worst part is I lost 3 lbs to. Probably water weight though. The point is I am so focused right now, I just don't have the time to go out, and get wrecked, or miss meals etc as I worry it will make my gains suffer, and as a result I am becoming more alone and isolated from people. Has anyone got any good advice for this or been through a similar experience?
Appreciate any feedback.
Thankyou.
JD
