I'm 10 days sober and found it very hard this past weekend with friends who were drinking a lot. They seemed a little put out that neither of us was drinking..like we had robbed them of something..not sure what. Toward the end of the night they were drinking wonderful Cognac, my fav and practically pushing it on me. Took me all I had not to have a little (leading to a lot), so I didn't.
Hubs said I should tell everyone..all I am saying is that I'm giving it a rest for a bit as I've overdone it recently..testing myself. People can relate to that and it doesn't sound judgey. I am remembering people I've met in the past who didn't drink and I remember dismissing them as boring. WTF...
