I was sober for eight years and then had an episode, drove away all my friends, and then went down to the bars looking for new ones since I was very judgment impaired by that time. I started out drinking coca-cola but ended up being 86'd at two bars before finding one full of drug dealers where geeking out didn't get your ass kicked out the door.

I don't think I can drink at all with my mental health issues. I wouldn't let anyone make me do it either. I've invested too much time finding medications that work and building relationships with health care professionals. I've also build relationships with people in N/A including my sponsor. I'm still going to meetings--it's just that I get the feeling I'm different, despite being told I'm not. You can't argue with a feeling.
