It's so engrained in the service industry culture to get loaded. I don't know why I didn't just say "I don't drink" or "I'm sober"... I'm hoping its because I wanted to fit in with their crowd and not because deep down I don't believe it, BUT I'm worried that it is because I don't believe it. My BF asked me how long I was planning to stop for "40 days and 40 nights lol" I told him I'm quitting until I don't want to binge drink every-other day. (Which is most likely forever) but I left that part out. Why the heck am I scared of saying I'm done done done DONE!? He only drinks like once a month... Its not like he'd care... he might even be proud of me for stopping, who knows.. can't be fun to live with a drunken slob.
