Family party today 👎

It’s my aunts birthday, I actually like my aunt…and uncle, despite not too much in common, but the rest of the family outside my immediate family I don’t like. We have nothing in common really so I’m going to this party with negative expectations…usually I say “oh it’ll be fun!” And it never is. So I won’t get my hopes up .

So far I’m taking it easy, going for as many walks as possible…food is good. Everyone drinking not me though

Good work TTP, this must be a little hard for you to be surrounded by drinkers. You are doing really well.

Enjoy the day. :blush:

Its not too bad

The thought of alcohol makes me sick these days :thumbsdown:

The only thing I don’t like is everyone walks in the door and says “where’s the wine?!?!”

But I’ve come to far to relapse on such a terrible high

If someone had weed id be more tempted

Oh well

Thanks turtle

I usually feel more alone at parties than I ever do while I’m actually alone. Watching everyone else having fun and socializing always makes me realize how different I am and makes me feel very depressed. I must feel lonely most of the time but am only conscious of it when I’m around other people.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy yourself at the party! :bouquet: :upside_down: :tada:

I don’t get the people who drink like fish but arent technically “alcoholics”, or never had a reason to stop. Most my family is hammered but none of them been to rehab or anything.

But they’re not sz and don’t take meds that you can’t drink on…

I usually have to catch a strong buzz for a party, so my hat’s off to you. Nice work man!

I would still drink but I don’t drink to get drunk due to my schiz at a party I might have a total of 2 to 3 cold ones over a span of 3 to 4 hrs but not drinking in general. I still do cannabis though with a maximum of a tini a week and not every week. I used to drink up 2 24 cans of beer on a binge night but not anymore I have greater awareness for my health and I think spirituality has helped with that.

I always feel out of place at my dad’s family reunions because almost everyone who is over 21 drinks. We’re a big Irish family so what would you expect? I still feel left out though because I don’t dare mix liquor with my meds. I have a hard enough time focusing and not loosing it without adding a drink that can manipulating the mind the way alcohol does.

Yup. I wasn’t the worst alcoholic in the history of mankind , but being sz and on meds it really makes my life unmanageable. I liked drugs better anyways but same story with those.

I’m on 3 medications that say “no alcohol on this drug”…it was insanity for me to drink on them.

I’ve got this goal to go completely off of my meds. I know my condition will still be the same just minus the side effects which will make things more manageable.
