mattman's quote......
[Most drunk people don't even notice you're not drunk anyway. There are other reasons to go to bars besides alcohol: Meet new people, socialize with friends, dance, listen to good music or a good band, play pool/darts. It's really not all about the alcohol. ]
Hi Im Sharon and Im an alcoholic.
For me....going to a bar sober...i would definitely feel uncomfortable. Unless u r with another sober person. It would make me feel completely uncomfortable trying to carry on a conversation with someone who is under the influence.
They themselves are drinking and thus have a chemical in there system to make them behave irrationally. They r not being their true selves. Right?
And here I am sober....wide eyed....clear mind...in control ....and the other person is not in control. how could i feel comfortable talking to someone who is not all there.....does that make sense?
Sure a bar is a good place to dance, listen to music....yadda yadda yadda....but to meet a guy there who is drinking and im not....he wouldnt remember the evening the same way i would....him, maybe not at all.....
So bars are not a place id feel comfortable in anymore.....unless i was drinking.....and im not going there today. : )
Thanks matt for sharing your thoughts and how u feel.
