Old Friend Has Drinking Problem?
Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2007 1:47 pm
Hi, I am new to this message board and appreciate any and all comments.
Within the last year I reconnected with an old high school girlfriend. We live far apart (800 miles) and have reestablished contact primarily via email. Early on she mentioned "I like my wine". I myself have not experience an addiction to alcohol but have male friend who are self admitted alcoholics.
The newly rekindled connection has been troubled. She seems preoccupied with "fine tuning" my live. I have visited her and have notice that she has some sort of alcoholic drink at least once a day. I can't say I ever saw her drunk though.
I want to find a way to bring up the possibility of a drinking problem without offending her.
Any advice on raising the question or addressing the preoccupation with "fine tuning"?
