That was good. I thought it was interesting when he spoke of abstaining at parties or a bar and encountering how some people were uncomfortable with that. I thought of how It can be a double whammy at first when you are feeling the same way.
Now that I am doing a bit better with my discomfort, I will be more cognizant of those subtle cues from others so that I can maybe steer the conversation to something interesting and the focus isn't on me not drinking.
Thanks for sharing!
