Had not took a drink in 2 1/2 yrs..do want to drink to be social again???!
Answers: If you had a drinking problem, it's not a good idea. The brain responds very quickly to the old trigger. In no time, you can end up right back where you were. This is true of many addictive substances, not just alcohol.
NO you have a drinking problem. stay away from any boose there is no such word as a social drinker not for us. sober for 20 years.
Don't do it! I am new to the sober/cyber world, ha ha, would give anything to have 2.5 yrs in. Hopefully there isn't a particular "someone" who is making you feel left out by not drinking. Good luck to you!
you do not have to drink to be social,you stoped for a reason .
It could be a nervous tick around groups of people. I tried drinking water instead of beer and found out I did the exact same thing. The habit of drinking in of itself was my reaction to being in a group of people I was uneasy around.
If that was your problem, sure have a drink or two, but stick to sodas and water after that. If not, just drink sodas or water at the party. Most people today can understand someone not drinking alcohol because of past addictions.
Never happen, Once you start you'll be off to the races....
