I think you are being too hard on yourself. Many years ago, in our early married years before having kids, most of our friends were non-Christian and they always tried to “force” me to take a drink. And although they thought I was a little weird, I felt that they respected me (at least most of them).

I have replaced the link and this one should open up the whole article.

Thank you so much for leaving this comment. I have been gearing up for comments from people who disagree with me so this is great encouragement to me. I’m almost ashamed to say that I bought The Epic Undoing of Haley Ann Ewing last year to read on a trip and never got around to reading it. I’ll have to dig through my kindle library and find it 🙂

I so appreciate you taking the risk to write about this important issue. The turnaround I experienced in my walk with God when I finally stopped demonizing social drinking ended up finding its way into my first novel. Please know I’m not intending for this comment to be a shameless plug for my book, but I’m just saying this to affirm that this is really an important topic for so many of us right now. I know that because of my own reader responses. In my Christian humor novel, I force my superior-minded main character to attend a bible study in a saloon. So many people seem to connect with the inner turmoil I put that poor lady through as she wrestled with whether or not to go. Excellent writing, Kim–thank you!!
