12/31/2014 10:11:06 PM Posted: 3 years ago I quit drinking alcohol a couple of weeks ago. I was a really bad alcoholic but now I'm clean but my family is wasted right now and trying to get me to drink. I keep telling them no and to stop asking but they won't. I really want to drink but if I know if I do I'll fall back into the hole I'm climbing out of. But still....
What do I do? I need advice ASAP. To all the people fighting a hard battle out there - life's giving you a pretty hard beating. There's no sugarcoating that, but there's no shadow that's free of light. When life sneers at you and asks, "Ready to go again?" - Raise your hand. Reach out to victory. Don't give in. ---Help Bsh and YYW see each other--- http://www.gofundme.com... |

12/31/2014 10:22:26 PM Posted: 3 years ago Always keep a glass or water or soda in your hand. People will be less likely to offer you a drink if you have one in your hands.

12/31/2014 10:26:31 PM Posted: 3 years ago I'd go seek help, to be honest. The psychological component to alcoholism is huge. It's actually very commonly just something akin to advanced bed-wetting, if it's not chasing away some pain. Nothing wrong with a few drinks with your family.

12/31/2014 10:27:59 PM Posted: 3 years ago To get drunk with a person is something beautiful, too, IMO, -- as if to disarm yourself. Maybe I shouldn't be romanticising it like that, though. But it might be what your family are really looking for you to do :P
