I, like probably many people in Al-Anon, have issues around alcohol consumption. Not in the sense that I'm an alcoholic. But in that worrying sense that maybe I'll "turn into one".
This has made the past few weeks in my new locale a bit interesting. MANY people here drink. A lot. And while no one has been pouring drinks down my throat, I have felt a weird inner pressure that I too need to drink to have as much fun as they have been having. My problem comes in deciding where to draw the line. How much am I comfortable drinking? How do I feel about alcohol playing such a large part in my life after excluding it from my social scene for so long?
I have a lot of thinking to do.
