Laura Dabney, M.D., gives 4 things that don’t work when you decide to say no to alcohol.
1. Don’t be a dictator.
Don’t be a dictator to yourself, and don’t put that role on someone else.
“You shouldn’t,” “Don’t you,” “If I see you…”
Dictatorships don’t work in countries for a reason. People get resentful and they start acting out in strange ways. It hurts relationships. Don’t mistreat yourself or let anyone else mistreat you. This is not a case for that.
