I do find it hard to trust someone who doesn't drink but then my best friend didn't start drinking till very recently and i was already 3 years. I just find it hard to relate to a person who doesn't drink. The ones who get high on life are even crazier

I'm a heavy drinker, and the reason that drinkers are uncomfortable around non drinkers is because we feel secretly judged. The more you say you aren't judging the more we distrust you. There are times i stop drinking when I need to lose weight, and I feel awkward as hell ordering a diet coke when everyone else is having a beer. "Oh you guys go ahead and drink, I'm being healthy today, so I'm gonna sit here and sip my cola while you all kill your livers." A real friend would kill his liver with you.
Same reason even good people feel a little awkward around nuns. And to a lesser extent, when I ordered the pork sliders yesterday only to find out my date was a Jewish Vegetarian. Its like when you and your buddies "accidentally" kill the stripper, you have to make the guy that was in the other room help cut up the body so he in it with you and won't go to the cops.

Drinking
Hey Chemda, I share your problem with people getting awkward because I don't drink. I don't get it, and I think it's stupid. I just don't like the smell or the taste of alcohol, I will drink a little now and then, but I don't really like to. Don't let them get you down!

best show in a LONG TIME, Jesse and Micha's chemistry together is hillarious! Loving Micha on the show even more!
as far as the AA talk goes, I didnt vote because from what I heard neither seriously need AA. It was the most hillarious story when Chemda was describing Micha's shenanagins while she tried to sleep, and if that was the only incident of the night where his behavior was a bit weird, then I dont think he is an alcholoic at all. And neither is Keith, just becasue someone drinks everyday doesnt mean there an alcholic. I have a drink or two everyday, but in no way do i see it as a problem becuase if for some reason I coudlnt drink I would be fine with it. I woldnt steal or sell shit for booze, and thats when I define someone as being addicted to something. Or maybe its just that I take AA too seriously and its really for any booze hound who had a rough weekend?

Jesse is funny as hell every single time, but i would LOVE to hear him coupled with Dan Allen once again.
Anyway he always has at least one line that almost kills me, even only for the delivery. "Oooooooh that was a call-baaack! We're getting into kaaaaah-meeee-dyyyy!" wow. |

In the last few years, judges have started to assign AA as a punishment for public drunkenness or crimes involving intoxicants. There are a lot of old AA people that think this shouldn't be the case because AA shouldn't be a punishment. There are also a lot of other people who don't care. Personally, I'm a little wary of institutionalizing the 12 steps because where there is institution, there is dogma and then you do find yourself in the middle of another stupid religion. Quote:
The thing is, since AA started on the East coast of America in the 40's pretty much everybody there had a Christian background, so of course there's Christian tropes in there, that's what they had to work with. But pretty much every one was a man too, and in my experience they're no less welcoming to other religious experience than they are to women. I'm not in AA, and although I am in another 12 step program I don't pretend to speak for 12 steps. That's just what I know from being around. In my experience of my own 12 step program, there are some groups that I don't go to because they're too Jesus-y for me, and there are some that are too political. The idea is that a meeting is a place without political or religious affiliation, but that doesn't always happen because, after all, the meeting is a place for people who are deficient by self admission.
