• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I cannot stop thinking about an evening with friends. Three of us went out and enjoyed the outdoors with a picnic. Only one of us drank. I dropped this person off and was invited in for a beer. I drank 2 beers. She was drinking whiskey & coke. Before I left, she was bombed, thick tongued, slurring words. I am trying to rationalize this but I keep coming back to the fact that she is 56 years old, it was a Tuesday evening, and and ... I don't know.

If this is her regular pattern, then it would seem she has a problem. If it interferes with her ability to work, she would have a problem.

Why don't you talk to her about it? Or, wait and see if it happens again when you are out with her.

In any event, definitely pray for her.
