That can be frustrating to hear, but it can also be empowering. You can choose to remain sober in spite of what anyone else says or does to you.
Here's to trying again!
I never realized until I read this, that I blame others for me drinking all the time. I mean, I know its ultimately MY choice to drink, but I give into the temptation very easily when someone has pushed my "drinking buttons". Blaming them, but really just using them as an excuse to do what I love to do, Drink myself into oblivion.
