Best post I have read in ages.
I caused myself no end of self inflicted worry, thinking how i could tell all my former drinking buddies I wasn't drinking anymore.
Out of 20 odd guys, only one took it a bit far, and tried to convince me i didn't have a problem, the others all went "cool, respect your decision " some even said "yeah, we've been waiting for the penny to drop" lol
You can probably figure out the response of the one guy.
