Hello Midas--Thanks for the wonderful post. I really appreciated it.
Hugger--First of all, if your roommate was drunk, she could hardly be rational, now could she? Also, there is a good chance she was so against you quitting because she is afraid of facing the truth about her own drinking habits. I find it a little bit disturbing that someone would say you were not being "true to yourself" because you were not drinking.
That said, I also hope you know that it is rare for someone to be able to quit for someone else. Meaning--if you are quitting for your boyfriend or your roommate or your family, it will be very difficult to be successful. However, if you truly want sobriety, and you want it for yourself, your chances are much better. Just my two cents worth.....
Finally, a great big welcome to SR. I am sorry to hear about your break-up. I know that is very hard. Hope you will hang out, post some more, and let us get to know you!!
Hugs--
