This perspective is easier to to take with personal relationships than it is with people in work situations.<br />I used to say my parents "made" me drink. The truth is I "allowed" them to upset me and I CHOSE to deal with it by drinking. Of course, I no longer allow them to upset me b/c I'm NC. Not sure how you do that with a boss or co-worker.
