A friend of mine is moving out of the country and he gave me a lot of stuff including a really nice bar.....and well he had A LOT of liquor too, I took some of it....but immediatlly, got rid of the vodca and gin and stuff I knew I would like but kept some of the nicer more expensive burbons and scotches....I know this may sound stupid but I do not like them and wont drink them...they look pretty though.....is this really stupid? I am debating on getting rid of them but I cant just throw it down the tolit....they are expesive bottles....what would you all do?
Again, I am not going to drink them, and my reasoning is if I really wanted to drink all I have to do is go to store and get beer anyways....I dont though and Im not going to drink.....I know I can not drink anymore

If you are new to sobriety, I think you are giving yourself an opportunity to drink it if you get discouraged one day and say what the hell. When I was brand new, I eyeballed every bottle, mixed drink, beer or glass of wine around me. Everyone is different so just do what is comfortable to you.

There was a bottle of Jack under my sink the whole time I quit, for my Dad, for when he came down for X-Mas and the only alcohol missing from that bottle is what he drank.
But, that's me.

You, on the other hand, posted this question so you must have SOME doubts or you wouldn't have asked it.

IMO, of course!

For me, I wouldn't care how bad it tasted, if I had a bad day, and I wanted to drink, and it was in the house, I'm off and running. By the time those bottles were gone, I would have an aquired taste.

IF you had a concern you should no the answer. If you sought opinions from others then maybe you should re think the hole thing.. I think You should not.. If you 100% thought it was a good idea it would not be on the DS> there for I think You know what you should do..

Much love candy..

well, I think it also different for me because I am also a server and deal with alcohol everyday....I cant allow myself to think that way....its always in my face and I have come to accept that and be okay with it....but there are still plenty of things I cant do or that are too tempting...My friend asked me to go watch her play volleyball and I dont want to go because I used to always have a few beers there and its far too tempting.....I guess what i am getting at I believe I have sset some bounderies and that I am okay with the bottles being here...I know I can not touch them....if that makes sense....it does to me though....
Thank you everyone for your advise though...it has helped me to think about it!! You all are great:)
