Yep. I work with a handful of guys who couldn't handle alcohol so they had to quit. They try to save me from my ways every week.

I only drink on two occasions any more: when I'm either alone, or I'm with somebody.

I can always handle my alcohol. Others have had problems with it but not I.

What if you're with more than one other person? You're stuck as the DD?

I don't drink because I was a raging alcoholic, but I don't broadcast it. When I'm offered a drink, I just thank them for the offer, but tell them I'm the designated driver. No need to make people feel bad for trying to give me something.

"I can't have a drink because I used to be a raging alcoholic."
A few times, people have repeatedly offered me a drink and have told me that they won't want to take no as an answer. That's when I tell them that I was a raging alcoholic. This results in them trying to make awkward apologies. I tell them that they didn't do anything wrong, but they usually feel bad it anyway.

I always say, keep your feelings about politics, religion, and drinking to yourself.
You don't want to drink? Great! Don't tell me how I should handle my life!

6. You develop more empathy for others

9. You become amazingly productive
As someone who is ten years sober, I can say that all but #5 and # 6 are true.
I was never any more or less sad when I drank and I'm an a-hole who has never really had much empathy for others.

There are definitely some like that out there, but usually the way it goes for me is someone offers me a drink, I say no thank you and they either look offended or ask me why not. When my answer is "I don't drink" then they really look offended.

Sounds like he had a drinking problem among other problems. Good for him getting his life on track.
