It is weird. I am helping a friend move tomorrow and we finalized the plans last night. His final comments were" alright bro, I'll get all the beer ". How do I let him know, someone who is used to seeing me drink without putting a billboard across my forehead that says IM IN RECOVERY. A stranger I would have no problem saying no thanks but to a friend it's more difficult. My recovery is my private issue that I don't want to discuss with everyone. A close friend it would be easier but this is more of a newer buddy that just moved a few doors down. Kind of strange.
Sober today and grateful. MB8
