Welcome wpgwoman!
This is a great place for anyone to ask questions about alcoholism. I hope you find the answers you need.

I'm a sober alcoholic, and sometimes I get "funny" about my virgin beverages. For me, the important thing is that I stay sober. Drinking a bunch of bottled water is actually good for me :-)

[QUOTE=wpgwoman;1474466]Hello to all,

I am a new member of the Friends and Family of Alcoholics Forum.
I was wondering if I could ask questions on this forum to better understand the other side of the coin, so to speak?

My A, is a very high functioning A. Many who know him would not believe he has a problem. Is it possible for an A to recover without the help of a program??

Is it a red flag, to watch them replace the amount of beers consumed with cans of Coke. I know that may sound silly, but over the past year or so, I've watched him open can after can of Coke in a very short period of time and become anxious when there was none left. Are they just replacing one addiction with another. Should something so silly, actually be something to be concerned about.

Thank you for any insight you're willing to give,

I'm not sure I'd consider this a red flag I wouldnt worry about it, it's soda, not beer, beer can cause accidents and death (drinking and driving) coke cant
