Question by meetoo: Alcoholic sober for 12 years, but I really want to drink some good red wine with dinner – Do you think I can?
I got sober 12 years ago when my life was a disaster. Booze, drugs and the wild rock n roll lifestyle nearly killed me.

Since then, I have aquired a great life. Wife, 2 kids, a good job…….But, I really want to drink like a nice red wine with good food.

I feel like I’m missing out on one of life’s great pleasures – good wine.

Any alcoholics out there grow out of it, and found themselves able to just drink some occassional wine?

Best answer:

Answer by JonnyMac
Why would you want to risk everything you have, just to have a glass of wine? You are a recovering alcoholic, so you should know of the slippery slope that drinking can be. You claim to have a good life with your wife, kids and job. Don’t be a fool.

Question by A P: I was sober 4 years and relapsed on New Years Eve. I feel horrible about it and I know why it happened.?
I removed alcohol from my body for 4 years, but did not remove the “lifestyle”. I am surrounded by people who drink. Some are normal drinkers, some drink alcoholically. I was a social drinker in the early stages of alcoholism. I only worked AA for the first 6 months. I remained sober for 4 years out of fear of alcohol and because I liked myself better sober. I relapsed because of stress and pressure to drink. I also am surrounded by people who constantly tell me I don’t have a problem. My husband is a normal drinker, but he still likes to drink, and thinks that I just need to stay away from certain people so that I can drink normally (which is a total joke). His family drinks and my family drinks. All my friends drink, except one but I don’t get to see him but rarely. So, bottom line…I never want to relapse again…I am working AA again and know I need a complete lifestyle change. Any additional advice?

Answer by Ranger4402
I would not ask people in AA for advice on drinking. The most ardent AA members believe if you get strinking drunk just one time then you are an alcoholic. For many of them they fear alcohol so much they have to take that stance so they don’t slip up.

You may not be addicted to alcohol but you might have a predisposition to it because of your addiction to other drugs. This could be a body chemistry issue or the so called addictive personality paradigm.

If I were you then I would find some other way to relive stress. It’s too risky for you in my opinion.

Question by Johnny G: How can you be yourself when most of your teenage years, you were on drugs? So being sober feels so weird.?

Best answer:

Answer by JJ
You have to learn how to except yourself for who you are ..and know that the way you were on drugs is not who you are know.

Embrace sobriety and learn to move forward.

P.S. Congrats on being sober! That’s a big accomplishment.
