foxman @ Apr 3, 2021 9:02:11 AMA really good friend of mine just got engaged. He asked me out for a beer and I agreed. Stupid me. I thought I could just have a couple to celebrate this huge life event with him. Well, I ended up drinking way too much.Isn't it amazing: why do we always associate "celebration" only with alcohol? Why not just be there for them? I too was so wired to only associate anything with alcohol. When I saw Disneyworld didn't sell beer I would avoid it and go to other parks. Its not about the kids then.
Hope you are doing well! I will encourage you to read the book alcoholics anonymous, available free online. It takes lot of support initially, best is to empower yourself about various types of drinkers. See if you can identify with the stories in the book.
