oh and when they ask why aren't you drinking just say my stomachs bothering me a bit and i don't feel so hot. Might try one in a bit. But like I said I just say I'm an alcoholic. Trust me most of the time if they remember asking you and you telling them that you won't get asked again. And I'm a very youthful 38 with 6 years clean and most people say oh cool. And another thing you'll run into people that have friends that need help and family members that need help. Hell who knows? Maybe you can help somebody by saying it. I know one thing.I've helped more people than I've hurt by announcing it i promise you that.
