I really wasn't thinking about alcoholics per say. If an alcoholic is trying to keep sober but hangs at places where alcohol is served they are not trying very hard to remain clean. And I don't see the issue having a drink here and there or at dinner when out and about. And if someone wants to down a 6 pack+ I see no issue doing it at home.
I am talking about being known for what you represent in your calling with God.
One should always try their best to keep, because of personal belief, because God's honor is everything, the image of a follower of God to the Standard of Godly living. And when one is in the company of people they know or do not know, others may know them. I meet many people who say aren't you that preacher, or that guy we saw talking about Jesus to this person or some other example they remember me by. But I have no idea who these people are especially to realize they know who I am by my conduct of being a Christian.
It's these people I walk away from thinking, "God, thank you for not letting me have been doing something that could have distorted Your Image of what I should be in You."
This is what my posts in this thread are intending to mean and be saying
