One thing I don't understand is why so many people around me are alcoholics.
I'm not someone who drinks a lot, one or twice a month at max, so maybe this is normal?
I hate how many people I know who are alcoholics, they say they're not but I believe drinking every day or drinking for long periods (like, drinking non-stop for 3 days, not drinking for 4 then drinking again for another 5 days) is alcoholism.
It scares me, honestly, I don't truly feel safe around people who drink all the time.
I don't see it as a waste but I think they don't understand how they hurt people, how much they change.
I worry so much about their health and I hate dealing with the breakdowns after they're sober.
Too many people in my life are like this and I feel so overwhelmed sometimes, I'll do my job and help them, but you can't make a horse drink water y'know? so they fall back into the same habits as before and drink. The mess they leave behind, I always have to clean up after them.
It's annoying sometimes, they'll call me an alcoholic for having one or two drinks and even go as far as to say I'm the one with the problem.
I'm fine with people living they're life how every they want but I'm always gonna worry for you. Its part of my job to worry. I wanna help people but I can only do so much. If you're going to drink, please just take care of yourself and try and understand your actions.
Thanks for listening to my rant, love you all.

I know several alcoholics. They can be very selfish people. They take little or no responsible for their own actions. It can be challenging to watch them waste their potential and lives by drinking.
It can be scary to be around alcoholics especially if they are driving. I usually end up being the designated driver.

yeah, for me its more the fear of them doing something that'll hurt them or worse, I worry about people way to much.
