Now that you are sober do you think you could be with someone who is a daily drinker? Perhaps you are already w someone who drinks every day? If so how do you manage it?

I couldn’t be with a daily drinker. It would have to be with an occasional drinker at best

For me the answer is no I couldn’t be with a daily drinker. I had such a hard time getting sober because I loved going out with my husband drinking. At 33 months I am still not comfortable around alcohol. I don’t allow it in my house. I feel that being with a daily drinker would definitely lead to drinking. I feel if you feel strongly about sobriety then you need to take the steps to insure your safety. For me it’s stay away. I haven’t even seen family members for that reason.

No.
Regularly having open or empty bottles around the house would be unpleasant to me and I think being with someone who drinks daily would be playing with fire.

Having alcohol around doesn’t stress me out as much as being the most sober person in a room. I don’t think I’d have a problem being around a daily drinker, but do think I’d have a problem who drinks to get tipsy/drunk all the time, and if they’re a daily drinker, I imagine those two things go hand in hand.

For me I would have to be with a woman in recovery. Surrounding myself with people who are doing the same thing I am is how I can be of service to others and carry the message.

I won't date a daily drinker. Not that it's triggering it's that it's unhealthy and I don't surround myself with that

No. You are who you hang around with. That’s basically reservation

Stick to your guns and don’t drink. My late wife was a daily drinker. Try as I might, she wouldn’t quit. The addict has to make the decision to quit. Stick to your guns, my friend.

I couldn’t be with a daily drinker. I don’t mind if someone drinks when we go out to dinner in the., But not a daily drinker.

Daily drinking would not be okay with me. If it was limited to weekends and/or special occasions and wasn’t disrupted that would be ok

I think that maybe if your drug of choice wasn’t alcohol and that you know you didn’t have a problem with it in the past but honestly if you’re second guessing then stay away from it. Anything could potentially jeopardize your sobriety if you’re not careful.

Occasional drinker as a partner only for sure. I wish I could say I could even handle being around a social drinker but that's when I have the most anxiety is around people and I'll want to too. That's probably when they have to be the strongest so I can be too.

I could, but my issue is pain more than it ever was drugs or alcohol. I don't tolerate aggressive drunks well, but I never. It depends on the person, however. I have, and would occasionally drink an NA beer. For some that too can be a trigger though...
