hy do people always assume you drank because you had a bad childhood or a traumatic experience. When people ask me why i drank i tell them "i just fell into it", because i did.
My life has totally changed for the better now i am alcohol free, it is hard to believe that i was the same person.
But i found now that when i associate with new people, they find it totally unusual that I dont drink alcohol. Sometimes i find it hard, because where do I fit now. For me stopping drinking meant coming to terms with never having a drink again, for whatever reason.

 | Posted Nov 9th, 2008 at 5:42AM You fit in with me girl! I'm now in the program - I joke with my friends and my new recently met friends that I'm a member of the Sisters of the Secret Society and they laugh. So we are sisters. I go to a lot of meetings right now, mostly women's groups because that's where I feel more comfortable and that's where I fit in. Peace out |
 | Posted Nov 12th, 2008 at 8:23AM Hello Wasmessedup, I drank b/c I was shy, and drinking made it easier to socialize. I have been sober a while now, but still get the strange looks from people who find out I don't drink. You will get used to it. Congrats on your sobriety. |
