If that guy didn’t respect your requests for your not drinking, he didn’t respect you!! He would have been bad news for you all the way around. I am so proud of the way you handled the situation. You are a strong boundary setter and rock on.

You did nothing wrong….. it’s the one drug you have to apologize for not using…. Have you tried dating someone that abstains from alcohol?
You have nothing to feel bad about.. you made it clear to him before you went out with him.. it’s his loss not yours.. and has no respect for you or your feelings..
I can relate. There are some people that will say that they’re completely OK with it meeting somebody or even dating somebody that doesn’t drink. However, when you actually meet it just seems that they change their mind or maybe they didn’t believe you in the first place or some look at it is some kind of a challenge. I’ve had a few women that have been like oh I bet I can get you to drink. I’ve walked away from many the minute. Those words were said trust me there are people out there that will except you for you. I know it can be a struggle. I’m still holding out hope for myself and for everyone else it just wants people to give us a chance for who we are in recovery.
