Health, Friends and Alcohol: The wagon

The wagon

By mhmm... cumsquats - 09/02/2013 23:26 - Belgium - Kessel-lo

Today, after much coaxing, I finally got my roommate to loosen up and have a couple of beers with me and my friends. It was only later in the evening that he admitted the real reason he hadn't wanted to drink: he's an alcoholic and had been sober for six months, until now. FML

Today, as a recovering alcoholic, I called my brother to share the news that I've been sober for a month. He invited me to a bar to celebrate. FML

Today, my roommate gave me a self-help book on alcoholism for my birthday. He's an alcoholic. I gave him that book around 8 months ago. FML

Today, I decided to be the sober housemate for the first time in a while. I drove my drunk friends to the bar and back, even buying them pizza before they passed out in the living room. I got repaid by catching my wasted housemate in my room, peeing all over my floor, bed, and nightstand. FML

Today, my fiancé refused to talk to me because I'm "an alcoholic". I only started drinking like this after we moved in together and he brought me alcohol every day, because he's an alcoholic. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend that I was going to stop drinking, since I have been having some problems with alcohol and some of my relatives are alcoholics. He later broke up with me, saying he couldn't be with someone who "chose to be boring." FML

Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his family. They were drinking and having fun, so I joined in. I had one too many, got really goofy, and then suggested the farting game. "Sorry, I can't hold my liquor!" I quickly explained. My boyfriend's mom shot me a cold look and said, "It's non-alcoholic." FML

Why all the you deserved it's? How is this the OP's fault? The friend could have just told the OP they were on the wagon. Sounds to me like the friend wanted to come off wagon...

Drinking alcohol is a ******* terrible thing to get somebody to do in the first place; you shouldn't force anyone to guzzle down poison with you just because it's the "cool" thing to do... so yes, it's a "YDI."

People are allowed to have their secrets. I know that if I were a recovering alcoholic, I wouldn't wanna go around and tell anybody. Having an addiction that's bad for you is embarrassing

I agree he should have just let his roommate do what he wanted.

YDI, no one should force ANYONE to drink alcahol, not even encorage it. Especially if they keep rejecting it. Just ask once, and no is NO.

Just ask once? So a second offering is a gun to the head?

97 think before you speak. Badgering and pressuring someone to drink after they say "no" is extremely disrespectful and immature.

I know you couldn't have known he was a recovering alcoholic, but you still shouldn't pressure people to drink alcohol. I hope he pukes on you mid-hangover.

If your friend doesn't want to drink , then you should automatically assume there's a reason behind it . Even if you don't know what it is , maybe YOU should chill and back the **** off

He should have said that in the first place. But I hope you can help him out.

OP, in case the other comments didn't make this clear: "much coaxing" is bullying. It doesn't matter why you did it or how you spin it, bullying is not right. Learn to take no for an answer, politely.
