Oh (((geis))), I am sorry you were challenged like that. I can understand how you feel right now, please give this time to where you get your barrings better. Yes, being around others that are drinking with your history can be definitely feel unsafe. These individuals that follow this lifestyle are doing that because they don't know how to relax and just be without the aide of alcohol. When I observed that what I felt about it is how they were actually more vulnerable in that condition, especially when they drink too much and make stupid mistakes they cannot undo.

I hear that you did not react, however, you were in a public place and while it was hard, it did give you a chance to think about it in a different way. People who do that in that scenario do it because sometimes it works and the individual does that because it's the only way they know how to interact with another person, that when they are sober they are often unable to interact. You can choose to understand what it means more, it's hard, yes, but it teaches one how to survive and decide for sure what something means and that it is better to avoid that kind of scenario altogether.

You wanted to do the only thing that you learned to stop the reaction you had, often that is the reason others actually get drunk too. You worked through it, and that is making progress, even though it is so uncomfortable.
