Today, after much coaxing, I finally got my roommate to loosen up and have a couple of beers with me and my friends. It was only later in the evening that he admitted the real reason he hadn't wanted to drink: he's an alcoholic and had been sober for six months, until now. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as a recovering alcoholic, I called my brother to share the news that I've been sober for a month. He invited me to a bar to celebrate. FML
Today, my roommate gave me a self-help book on alcoholism for my birthday. He's an alcoholic. I gave him that book around 8 months ago. FML
Today, my alcoholic friend, who is now sober, told me I was a lot more fun when he was drinking. FML
Today, my mom celebrated a year's sobriety by having a couple of beers with her boyfriend. FML
Today, I celebrated my friend's 5-month sobriety milestone with her by getting absolutely wasted. FML
Today, I decided to be the sober housemate for the first time in a while. I drove my drunk friends to the bar and back, even buying them pizza before they passed out in the living room. I got repaid by catching my wasted housemate in my room, peeing all over my floor, bed, and nightstand. FML
Today, my fiancé refused to talk to me because I'm "an alcoholic". I only started drinking like this after we moved in together and he brought me alcohol every day, because he's an alcoholic. FML
Today, for the first time in two years, I met my ex-girlfriend. I was drunk. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I was going to stop drinking, since I have been having some problems with alcohol and some of my relatives are alcoholics. He later broke up with me, saying he couldn't be with someone who "chose to be boring." FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his family. They were drinking and having fun, so I joined in. I had one too many, got really goofy, and then suggested the farting game. "Sorry, I can't hold my liquor!" I quickly explained. My boyfriend's mom shot me a cold look and said, "It's non-alcoholic." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did you ever bother to ask him WHY he didn't want to drink with you guys?

When asked if I want a drink (aka alcoholic) and I don't want one I say why, like " I have to work" etc. if the friend had told OP I doubt he would still be pressuring him. IMHO.

Aw, next time ask "W-H-Y S-N-O-T?" before pushing people around, you bully!

Don't worry, OP, maybe you shouldn't have pushed, but HE made that decision to drink, not you! I have a saying, "People do what they do because they WANT to. Not because of what other people do."

Finally, after a depressing stage of my life as an alcoholic, I have been 6 months sober. But, my roommate has been trying to get me to drink with him for a while and I eventually gave in. FML

Don't blame yourself dude you have no clue at all, your intentions were good you just wanted to chill and have a couple of beers, the roommate should have spoken up and said something about his alcoholism shame on him for not doing so.

**** peer pressure, if he doesn't want to drink, don't force him...

Why did you feel the need to keep trying to force him to drink?
