Not Necessarily an Alcoholic
You don’t have to be an alcoholic to have an alcohol abuse problem. If you drink to much you could be developing other physical problems. Occasional social drinking is not a problem. The problem starts when you do to much of it. To much of anything is not good and when it comes to alcohol that is doubly true. I have found that at any social function I can limit myself to one or two drinks or just stick with soft drinks. I see to many friends that seem to think social drinking me drinking till they pass out. I set the example that this doesn’t need to be th case.
When you realize that you have alcohol abuse problem you need to deal with it quickly and decisively. Go our less and when you go to social functions drink soft drinks or coffee or even hot chocolate. Your friends will understand if you just tell them you are cutting back on your drinking and won’t make fun of you. Those that might are the kind of friends you don’t really need anyway. You are always better off if you keep solid control of your drinking. It is often a lot easier that you think. Just say not when offered a drink more often than you say yes. So be like me and enjoy living life with or without drinking.
