I get annoyed by recovered alcoholics that can't just STFU at a get together and not have a drink. Everyone makes this huge deal like ,"OMG, keep him away from that, he is a recovered alcoholic!" Like the guy has Aids or something. Usually his significant other, just can't STFU abt how he used to be an alcoholic and doesn't want him around it. Well assholes, I'm going to enjoy myself and I'm not the person with an alcohol problem, so if you don't like it then gtfo of here already!
One night on new years I was at a bowling alley and my mother in law was there with the recovered alcoholic she remarried. Well I kept going to the bar and buying beers and you could tell it was going all over her. She finally said something to me and I responded with..."Yea, so What? I'M NOT THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM, HE IS, SO I'M GONNA DRINK AND ENJOY MYSELF!!!"
I would be more supportive of it if they just chilled and STFU and stopped drawing all this attention to themselves
THANK YOU!!!!
I don't call myself a "recovering" alcoholic but for 30 years not a day went by that I wasn't drunk. If I hadn't consumed at least 48oz of high strength beer before/as breakfast then I couldn't function.
I lost my marriage, many jobs, the respect of my parents and all of my friends.
Thankfully for my own reasons I stopped on my own. I had completed many rehabs but that didn't change a thing.
Now, I don't drink at all, don't want to. Whatever way someone gets sober, congratulations!!!
But now I'm back with my ex-wife, my family has come around, yeah yeah.
My first time with my ex and her friends out on the town I told all of them they better get fucked up because I'm the designed driver!
Now I mix the drinks when we all hangout bc I obviously have the experience.
Finally, if someone has an alcohol problem that they have overcome your drinking is going to cause them to spin out of control. They still haven't moved on to not drinking. Alcohol is everywhere, you not so powerful that if someone sees you drink they are going to lose control.
And for the alcoholic who thinks people should change for them(there aren't many who care at all what you do) Fuk'em. Nobody has the right to tell someone else how to enjoy life when they aren't hurting people!
I don't make others actions that important, just enjoy yourself. I'm not so important bc I have stopped and don't think we want to be acknowledged for it.
Anyway, drink up you heathens! As Rodney Dangerfield said, Move over Swanson, I'm driving!!
