Thread Name: BS: I'm NOT an alcoholic!
Subject: RE: BS: I'm NOT an alcoholic!
I don't drink anymore. I did for years until about two decades ago. Realized I AM an alcoholic and that was that. When people offer a drink I say, "No, thank you," usually with a smile. On the few occasions I've been asked if I'm an alcoholic, I've said yes. Most people congratulate me for staying off the stuff. It can be very difficult at times, even after all these years. One's too many and a hundred's not enough.

If ya think ya got a problem, maybe ya do. Message me and we'll talk. Stopping sometimes takes a bit of help. People helped me stop and I have helped others over the years. We are a fraternity of drunks trying to stay sober. Don't be ashamed to accept help.
