Starting Out
Hi, I'm new here. In fact, this is my day one. I was wondering if I could get some advice. It seems like some people have it a lot worse than I do, but I'm still scared and really embarrassed about this whole thing. Is it possible to get through this without meetings? I really, really don't want anyone I know, to know. Also, my friends always make jokes about my drinking or get mad at me when I say something inappropriate but then they tell me that I'm more fun when drunk. The sad thing is that it's true, I'm boring when sober. Has anyone else felt that way? And last, but not least, I work in a lot of politics and networking which almost always involves cocktails. How can I say no and not draw attention to myself? How do you say no when you're around it so much.
Sorry for the long post and thank
