Yeah, I think you're right with that one.
But, not by much... Also, I think some of the worst ex-drinkers are the ones that went through AA.
But, yeah... I'm pretty sure you're right with that.
But you're not planning on becoming an ex drinker any time soon I hope
When we first met, I was a non-drinker. Well, I drank a few times a year at best. That's 'cause I was once a very heavy drinker. So, I quit drinking for quite a while - years in fact. Finally, I would drink here and there - at holidays and never more than two. Then, it was never more than 3...
Finally, I realized that I had actually made the changes I needed to make to be able to control my drinking. I hardly ever drink to excess, even if I have a glass of wine or three. I barely get tipsy at 2 glasses of wine and 3 is just a nice buzz.
So, I won't quit drinking unless I stop being able to maintain this current level of drinking. If I start drinking too much/too often, I'll quit again.
But, when you met me, I was pretty much a non-drinker.
So, you probably don't have to worry about me being a hypocritical ex-drinker. I'm pretty sure I wasn't one when you met me.
Hell, I'd have my 4th of July festival and only drink a few alcoholic beverages for the entire thing - I was completely alcohol-free for some of 'em. (Note, I didn't say "sober". I said "alcohol-free". There's a difference!)
I do not remember you being a critical or hypocritical ex drinker.
I have never worried about my drinking, I do like to get drunk occasionally. But I have seen so many people who are real true alcoholics, who won't stop drinking until they run out and only then long enough to take a nap
