I was a social drinker. Now I will very occasionally have a drink if out with friends. Alcohol has a negative impact on my sleep and I love to sleep. I've found I have no desire to drink in my home. AH is an at home drinker and he always had a drink after work to relax.
Also my kids often ask me if the same thing that happened to daddy will happen to me. I don't want to increase their anxiety by drinking in front of them even though I try to explain that most people do not have a problem stopping at 1 or 2 drinks.

Used to enjoy a round or two but never to excess. After seeing what alcohol has done to my AH and many people close to me I can't stomach it. Seems to be a poison they can't turn away from at any personal cost. Little too rich for my blood.
I'm a social person and like to get out often but as I detach further from the alcoholics in my life I find I don't even want to be around them anymore as the majority of all discussions are about alcohol and activities all center around alcohol in one way or another. Simply sad...

I think about this a lot now that I'm free from my AXB. I very rarely drank before I met him and then I guess I became his drinking buddy. I stopped drinking when he went to Adcare. Then he relapsed after 3 months and then he went to rehab and I left. I have social anxiety so if I'm in a social situation, which isn't often because I avoid everything, I do have a couple beers. But honestly I don't enjoy it at all because of what I went through and it kind of sucks because I'd like to go out and have fun like "normal people."
I had a long period where I couldn't stand it and it made me feel nervous or guilty, but I know I'm fine with a few glasses of occasional wine, so that's what I might drink. I don't like being drunk or being around drunk people at all.
It's been two years now since I lived with my ex, and it took me about a year before I wasn't skeeved out by social drinking situations.
