I agree too. Now that I understand that the majority of alcoholics aren't homeless people living on the fringes of society; they are people with jobs and families, I am better at picking them. It's not that I see them abuse it; it is an attitude they have. The priority of people at work is 'let's celebrate' and the excuses for the after work drinks are getting more and more pathetic; and it sounds like the nights are getting messier. I am in danger of turning into judge and juror. I try and think "Well I don't live with them so why does it bother me? My life is good," but it does bother me. I figure it means I have to recover more to get rid of the negativity. It's taking others inventory to avoid looking at myself.
