Shifty,
FWIW, I'm in the same boat.They're good friends and I know they'll be supportive but I just haven't been able to tell them yet. I guess I'm afraid they'll feel I'm aboandoning them, as silly as that may sound. It's been 32 days already and when I'm not drinking on Super Bowl Sunday I know they're going to find that quite surprising. I guess a part of me just hopes it eventually becomes obvious without me ever actually having to say it. Realistically thought, it probably won't go down that way.
