This is inspiring. I wouldn’t consider myself an alcoholic either, although both of my parents are. Yet, I have noticed the control I’ve allowed alcohol to have over me at times and it’s certainly a slippery slope. Several times, I have told myself I’m not going to drink and then somehow, someway, I find myself with a drink in my hand out of habit. Sometimes I don’t even enjoy the taste or want to drink it. But especially when I’m social environments, I do.
I think it’s great to hear ideas on how people stopped the cycle, and how they still socialize and have fun without alcohol involved.
