Hi Pricey,
Fwiw, when asked why I (the previous overachieving drinker) am not drinking, I have said that I am trying to be more productive at night and also that I am trying to lose weight. Both are true and people just nod their heads in agreement. Works for me
But I agree, you do what you need to do to keep you sober.
And congrats on your 19 days! Awesome
