I hestitated to post here because it is purely by the grace of *whomever/whatever* is on my side in the universe...I don't want to jinx myself but so far it's been a good few years...I had a minor relapse in 2001 on some pills and really bought myself some pain with that and I hope I learned my lesson. At this point in my life it's habit not to but I have to say it's easier for me to be around people who are falling down drunk than social drinkers; I don't care to be around social drinkers at all so have always socialized with people who are clean/sober or my family who are religious and don't drink although now we have some burgeoning alchoholics in the younger generation unfortunately. I have nothing against people who can drink but when I'm around the ones who can handle it for too long my mind tells me 'I could do that', so I'd rather be around the ones that obviously can't.
