Quitting the drink is a great life choice, but admitting you were wrong is a bit tricky at times.
Personally, I’d recommend doubling down on the drinking tbh, less awkward.
This seems like solid advice to me.
Just go in and act really drunk while hiding that your sober. Never show your full hand.
If you’re me a few years back then you realize that drinking is awful for you and it’s no way to live to drink every day and switch to benzos just to keep work somewhat tolerable
For most alcoholics and addicts, drinking was never a choice. I’ve heard people call drinking “gravity,” some thing that was there all the time. Sobriety is “anti-gravity,” a system that must be vigilantly maintained
I don’t like that analogy because it makes it sound like a natural thing while really drinking only has that “gravity” through many of our societal choices we could absolutely change (as a society I mean, not as individuals necessarily).
I don’t think society has much to do with it.
There are depictions of alcoholism in the Bible, and there are people in AA from all classes and backgrounds, from all over the world.
It looks as if a lot of people are born with a high potential to become addicted.
