I hear you!
I've got some family stories myself. One that probably gave me the logic to never drink in the first place (not that I like the smell or taste to begin with. Wine=ick. No communion wine for me!)
So I don't drink. The more I hear, the more glad I am that I don't! ::shudder:: |
Smart thinking. There are people out there who can do the social thing, and have a few drinks, then there are some people who over do it a little, weekend drinkers... And then there are the ones who drink almost or all the time, just to give themselves that "edge" or to make themselves escape themselves and their lives. Those are the types who are on the path of self destruction. |
How do you measure a "few"? Everyone’s body weight differs. Doesn't one that drinks (not all the time) do it to relieve the "edge"? Why else would you drink (excluding those who abuse/ have the disease)?

You're right.
Having a few socially is having one or two around company then going home, compulsive drinking is staying there till you're booted out.
And it measured by height, weight etc, but does it really matter though? If you're compulsive drinking? Or rather Alcoholic drinking? During my drinking days, I was a skinny guy, weighing in at 140-145... Never really ate anything until I was thoroughly sloshed, then I would then later puke it all up. I'm surprised I have a throat left.
However I never really liked beers anyway, Capt'n Morgan and Coke was my drink of choice...  |
Such an Eighties guy |

Well today I'd rather focus on my own personal recovery, and never shut the door on my past though, and use it as a learning tool to what I can apply it to today.
I am very grateful, and they say a grateful heart will never drink. |
