I wonder if not wanting to say those words has anything to do with being unsure as to whether I will drink again deep down? Or perhaps I just don't feel ready to give an explanation yet,
It could be one of them or both! Find some place quiet and honestly ponder this.
Like yeahgr8 I had no REAL friends left, lots of family though...... funny thing, none of them were shocked or questioned my stopping, they all smiled and supported me.
Do you have any real friends? If so, then what would you do if they told you that they had quit drinking & you were still drinking?
What would you do if they told you that they had quit drinking because they were an alcoholic & you were still drinking?
What would you do if they told you that they were diabetic and were not going to eat a sugary dessert?
There is a HUGE difference between a "Drinking Buddy" & a "REAL friend"
Quit drinking and your "Drinking Buddy" will shortly dissappear.
Quit drinking and your "REAL friend" will support you in your decision.
