You show a lot of great insight in your post. This is great to hear in your journey and your drinking habits.

Foxman,

How did you get to that peace? How do you deal with social situations not where alcohol is involved?

yes close to 3 years thru working the steps of AA. I use to be restless irritable and discontent but not anymore. I am at peace. But i got to work the steps every day and maintain a fit spiritual condition.

Hi foxman,

Have you stopped drinking now? If so, for how long? How has your summer been going due to these realizations you made about alcoholism? Have you still been attending summer events like BBQ's and social gatherings?

You mentioned you are restless and irritable. This sounds like they could be withdrawal symptoms. You also mentioned that you are discontent with your forced sobriety. Is there positive results from your sobriety? Are you feeling healthier? Are you getting positive feedback from loved ones. Let us know how you are doing.

Never. I would be the last one to grab a plate to eat and that too it will just a small portion of i eat now. But my hand will always hold a glass/bottle of something. Later I read the book called Alcoholics Anonymous, i realized i am an alcoholic and have lost the ability to control my drinking due to phenomenon of craving that keeps us drinking the moment we put 1 glass of alcohol in my body. And then the obsession to drink leads me to that 1st drink the next day. And always restless, irritable and discontent in forced sobriety.

Members,

Summer is a fun time that can be packed with great activities, barbeques and “get-togethers” but it is also a time to be wary of preventable injuries and conditions.

While out enjoying summer with friends, don’t be afraid to say no. Refusing that extra beer or cocktail at the party shouldn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Friends will be understanding and accept that you choose not to drink.

Members, how have you said no to drinking at a social gathering?
