[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 753577, member: 15032"] I think that we have to be realistic even if we don't like it. I cannot live in a fantasy world where my son never drinks. I do not think that he will choose to do that. I can ask him to make promises TO HIMSELF that he will not drink alone and that he will drink in moderation. Right now HE has chosen not to drink at all. I did not choose this for him but I am happy that he made this choice as being on Zoloft and drinking does not go hand in hand. My coworker is on an antidepressant also and has been for years and she drinks occasionally. She used to drink a lot when she was in a bad marriage years ago. A lot. When we first met she had only said "I used to have a problem with drinking". To me that meant that she was an alcoholic. When I got to know her better she told me the whole story of the abusive relationship she was in and didn't have the strength to get out of etc. Now she is in a happy marriage. She can drink socially and be okay. I think sometimes abuse of drugs or alcohol can be situational too. I know that there is addiction too but I'm just trying to take a deeper dive on this very complex subject. [/QUOTE]
