I am a dry drunk I come frome a line of alcoholics its in the blood so I don't drink. I do see a shrink at the VA but its not enough a 20 minute talk every 6 months or so doesn't help. My Church family stands by me and helps where they can and I give back where and when I can. just don't give me the communion plate in my right hand. I have nerve damage and tremors. One doctor told me its a slow walk to Parkinsons or MS. I am on different meds and they help. Some drugs are good for you otherwise I go holistic (natural herbs) my Mom said its witchcraft I say its made by God to help heal the sick and wasn't Luke a DR. I appreciate what you all said but as far as scietology goes I dont go there. I have been approached by some members when I was stationed in San Diego CA. I thot the stuff was loony then and put Scietology with Mormans and Jehova Witnesses. Just my opinion on what the Bible says and they say. But I still would talk to them. My closest friends out side of church are Wiccan and we know where each other stands as far as religion but we can still talk about other things other than religion. Because my friends are Wiccan my Mom said they would pull me into Hell with them. - not going to happen I am slowly working to get them to Heaven. If I can leave the Occult behind so can they. They say I came out of the Dark side of Wicca that is warned against and they are on the light side. I say satan controls either side.
Right on brother, both sides are controlled by Satan. Your wiccan friends should be reminded satan was the angel of "light".
2Co 11:14 -
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
I really commend you for following Jesus, coming out of the occult and then having the courage to witness to your wiccan friends. However, when you say your closest friends are wiccans that sends up a bunch of red flags, especially for someone who's come out of the occult themselves. If I am understanding you correctly your saying to don't really socialize with Christians outside of church? Why aren't your Christian friends your best friends outside of church as well as in? I don't mean they should be your ONLY friends, but why aren't they your closest? Christian friends are supposed to support, uplift, encourage and pray for each other especially when one is witnessing to those in the occult. In fact I would think some of those Christian friends should be involved in your social time with those wiccan friends. When you see Jesus send out the apostles in the Bible even He sends them 2 by 2 and He had given them power over unclean spirits. Mr 6:7
And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.
I have a close relative who was formerly into wicca aka witchcraft, supposedly the "light side" and the spiriual attack she experienced after leaving was intense. Now that she has rededicated her life to Christ we've had some interesting talks. She told me that for her the occult is like an addiction left behind, it's something that sometimes tempts her and she has pray and resist and because of old habits and misleading teachings she really has had to stay alert and aware through the Holy Spirit to help put some old behaviors and habits behind her. It is only through Jesus Christ and leaning on Him that she has been able to do this. I know that if she were to hang around with a bunch of wiccans she'd be drawn in on levels that she might not be aware of until afterwards and she might even stumble.
It's important to remember that satan doesn't want you to conquer sin, he wants you to fail and surrounding yourself with those in spiritual sin for social reasons seems like it would give him an avenue of attack.

Yes, greater is He who is in you - than he who is in the world, but God also tells us in His Word to avoid the wrong kinds of friendships for our own good.
I know we're all different and perhaps God has given you the opportunity and strength to witness to your wiccan friends, but to hang with them on a regular basis purely for social reasons, especially with no solid Christian friends outside of church to come along side you for support and prayer and to be present with you might be a bit like inviting spiritual trouble.
God has given us all sorts of scripture to guide us in our friendships for a reason, He took the time to warn us and I think we should take His word seriously on all counts.
I think there is a fine line between "befriending" someon who is an unbeliever, lets say having lunch together or inviting them to a barbecue where you can witness and they can see Christ at work in your life, but where your not in a position to have your faith comprimised. That situation is different than being "best of friends" with an unbelievers where those persons are who you spend most of your social time with, that I believe is one of the dangers God specifically addresses in His word. If who we choose as friends is important to God then it should be important to us, any time God tells us to avoid something it's out of His love for us and His desire to protect us from things we often don't realize are unhealthy or dangerous on some level.. (spiritually, emotionally/psychologically or even physically)
Here are some verses regarding friends and friendship. I hope you'll give them some prayerful consideration.
Proverbs 12:26
The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
Proverbs 12 is full of insight regarding unbelievers and the wise and faithful 
Proverbs 27:17
"As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend."
Friendship is a two way street, if a two friends who are believers sharpen each other in faith, how will one friend who is an unbeliever affect the friend who is?1 Corinthians 15:33
"Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits." Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God."
Proverbs 13:20
"He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed."
This may be one of he verses your mom was basing her concerns on.
This next verse may be the most well known regarding friendships and yet many people apply it to marriage only when it really addresses every partnership whether it be a prospective spouse, business partner, friend or any other relationship.2 Corinthians 6:14
"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God."
There are just so many benefits to having close Christian friends, those are relationships that are mutually blessed with spiritual benefits and they are provided by God.
This is snipped from a really nice Bible study on friends and friendships, it's definitly worth reading. If you should be interested you can find the entire study here: http://www.bible-knowledge.com/bible-friends.htmlBenefits of Choosing Good God-Friends
Here are six very interesting verses showing you why God does want you to have other good solid Christian friends to share your walk with.
These six verses will show you that there is safety in the multitude of counselors, that plans can go awry without having other people to hash things out with, that war is waged by wise counsel with others, that learning is increased by listening to wise counsel, and that if you cease to listen to wise counsel - that you will start to stray from being able to acquire more knowledge in God.
* "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." (Proverbs 11:14)
* "A wise man is strong, yes, a man of knowledge increases strength; for by wise counsel you will wage your own war, and in a multitude of counselors there is safety." (Proverbs 24:5)
* "Every purpose is established by counsel; by wise counsel wage war." (Proverbs 20:18)
* "Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established." (Proverbs 15:22)
* "Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days." (Proverbs 19:20)
* "Cease listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge." (Proverbs 19:27)
God's Word is so clear on this I would strongly suggest you seek God's wisdom on this through scripture and prayer
