Thanks for your question I have been thinking the same thing.
I'm not sure why exactly but I know at the moment I just don't feel comfortable telling anyone about it.
This weekend coming we are having friends over - this will be a challenge as it is going to be the first time I will have been in a drinking situation since I quit.
I think on reading everyones replies I am just going to say I have a bad back (which I do) and I am taking painkillers that you cant drink with.
I dont like to tell an untruth but I know some of my friends will say oh one wont hurt etc if I say I'm on a diet or use some other excuse.
