Of course I eventually realised I was essentially talking to myself...most people's eyes used to glaze over....
What I do or don't so is just not a big deal to a heck of a lot of people.

wow I was just talking with my therapist about this yesterday. since I've quit I noticed that I spend A LOT of time thinking hypothetically about what I'd say to certain people when pressured to drink. it seems that I've become preoccupied with it lately even though in reality I rarely have to explain myself to people because it doesn't come up that often.
