Did you sell your soul to play guitar this well? And, if yes, what's the number of your buyer?
Edit: I understand your problem, just not to that degree. I've been playing guitar/piano for a while now and I've had to abandon plans with old friends to practice and compose.
Eventually, we forgot about each other entirely and I was left with only people who I was stuck with.
As I got better, I yielded more friends and people who enjoyed my music and my older friends went down a path of drugs and overdrinking. I don't see them anymore but I'm glad I stopped before they tried to pressure me or something. I simply couldn't have music taken away.
Every friend I do have now is very supportive and have my back, so I feel like change was necessary in that regard.
Of course most people have their own problems and with music you must sacrifice.
Luckily, I didn't lose much yet. Only my hand's soft touch.
At this point I don't know what I'd do if I was forced to lay down music forever
And I didn't know that cats spoke French but as I always say: Gifler ou ĂȘtre giflĂ©.
