I should've kept it more simple and just stuck to the "hanging out with friends and getting coffee" explanation or something. Now I need to figure out how to keep talking about this "church group" over time when I'm asked about it.
Imo, it would be best to start working the steps and stop diggging a hole.
Work the steps on this. Stop making your boss and fellow co workers your higher power.
What you mention here is my old drinking behavior of mine. Start out witn one lil thing then before long craps coming out of my mouth and im hoping the story isnt brought up again because i wont remeber all the bs lies.
But youre more than free to keep it up, of course. Best of luck to ya if ya chose that.
