[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 175890, member: 14641"] Bhenji Welcome to the forum, no one is here to judge you or hate you. Firstly congratulations on going for 5 years without a drink. I also used to be alcoholic, so I know how hard it can be. In my view something has happened in the last 4 months to make drinking appear attractive again. My past is considerably worse than yours, drugs, prison, etc etc , and I am now married to a wonderful woman who accepts me as I am, and my past. Actually that is not strictly true, we have never had a conversation about it, we met, I told her about me, she told me about her, we fell in love, and that was that. I hope your fiance does not make you feel he is doing you a huge favour by accepting you, as otherwise this will dog your marriage and come up at every argument or disagreement. True acceptance is just that, true. Forget the lying in front of the SGGS, you are not the only one to lie, but at least you are aware that you lied! Many stand in front and lie with no idea. Some even lie and think it is the truth, so in the big scheme of things, its not the hugest transgression in the world, you are in fact only lying to yourself. I also enjoy the odd beer and glass of wine myself, it does not make me an alcoholic, but with my wifes help, I am slowly cutting down, even though it causes me or her no problem whatsoever. I sense you are not drinking yourself to oblivion, but merely having a few glasses of wine here and there, and possibly cannot see what all the fuss is about, which is fair enough. Ok, now the nitty gritty, if your fiance does not constantly bring up the past, is genuinely trying to help you, and is a good man, then you have to ask yourself whether it is worth throwing all that away for a few social drinks. My wife is White, english, unable to have children, divorced, so is not the best catch from a community point of view, because of this, and my past, I have no involvement in gatherings or celebrations, (although for some reason I get to go to funerals!), this is no big deal for me, as I am anti social at the best of times, as is the wife. However, if the community, family, gatherings (not just funerals), are important to you, as is having kids with someone from your own culture, then you need to make a choice. Its a no brainer really, give up the drink, get married, have kids, take Amrit, enlighten yourself, and breathe a huge sigh of relief that you survived that time intact and with people around you that care and love for you. However, if what you want is not that, then you need to be honest with yourself, your family, and your fiance. Lying is never a good thing, you are Sikh, whatever you are be proud of yourself, and not duck and dive like a nobody. Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
