I said that in half-jest. I've never had a problem going to a bar and not drinking. "No, I'm driving". Get's you free bev's all night. And that's what I did. I didn't drink and I was the DD.
It's when I took the first drink that it all went to hell. One wouldn't do it. Two was just the orchestra warming up. Before you know it I was over the state line in that open all night bar, knowing I was on a multi-day bender.
If you're going to quit drinking...that's it. You don't drink. Doesn't matter where you are or what the situation is. You don't drink.
Repeat after me:
"I don't drink"
