I can no longer stand being around intoxicated people. I just cannot watch their self-destruction. What they choose for their bodies is their business, and I'm not hanging around to watch
Perhaps a few pre-prepared lines could help..." im driving and a bit tired, so I'm going to be on the safe side...but thanks for offering".
The thing about going out for dinner with co workers is that I travel for work so I’m in hotels a lot. Sometimes I go to the hotel’s restaurant and the co workers shows up orders his/hers drinks and question my choice of not drinking. I’m always finding new ways to say no. I get I can’t control it so just deal with it. Just scared now that I seem to get an emotional reaction just from seeing alcohol.
