Bussea Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 Yep. Id probably have a drink with him from time to time too
Alldeezy Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 I've dated one, honestly It's not fun! DO NOT recommend.
kandicha Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 i rarely drink so we wouldn't be a good match for each other. i've had a hard time with friends who were alcoholics i don't think i could deal with a boyfriend who was alcoholic.
Pop Life Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Grew up in a substance abuse household and made the decision very early on that drugs and alcohol would never be a part of my life. I don't police peoples habits, but that world is a place I will not inhabit ever again
bleuwaffle Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 as a current alcoholic who can handle their liquor well it'd depend on the type of drunk he is. i can't stand babysitting sloppy drunks.
Gesamtkunstwerk Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 I wouldn't date anyone struggling with any substance abuse, not even if it's "functional". I grew up with an alcoholic parent and I swore on my own life that I'd never let someone into my life like that again. It's draining all energy, happiness and life straight out of you until there's no more
BletaRexher Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 I was a "functioning" alcoholic for two years but here's the thing, there's no such thing as a "functioning" one. Sure they can go to work, go to school, have social lives, but if they're constantly drinking these are just temporary. At some point the juggling of responsibilities will collapse and the person will be an absolute mess. It's not worth it to try to fix them, they have to do it themselves by getting to their lowest point.
Prisoner Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Is someone who drinks a can of beer or a glass of wine everyday a functioning alcoholic? Cause that's me and yes I'd date them as long as they don't go overboard except on maybe weekends
ChrisTheLoner Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 No, that’s just a disaster waiting to happen
Robert Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Never. They say they’re functional but there’s no such thing in reality.
GeeDuval Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 On 11/13/2022 at 3:42 PM, PMKARDASHIAN said: As a functioning (and in recovery) alcoholic who dated an equally functioning alcoholic, no. We were too explosive and toxic. We were together for 8 years and maybe a total of 6 months of it was good. Wow same hereeee! I thought I was trying to get to know this narcissistic closeted functioning alcoholic for 9 years and maybe the first year was the only fun we had. OT: I wouldn’t simply because as someone also in recovery know how dark it can get. Think I’m at a point in my life where I want to actually look forward to going out on dates, travel the world and family functions with someone. Not dread it knowing it will be clashing, scenes in public and doing what he wanted due to his pent up trauma.
