Someone even looked at me weirdly and said "how long are you planning on keeping this up!?" I just ignored it and changed the subject. (And opted to not go out for drinks with them.)
Mav- last time I attempted to quit the alcohol, I had told work colleagues and Family that I was trying to lose weight and not drinking for now. As I did start to lose weight, they started badgering me to just have one.. It's a treat, you're so boring now etc.....I felt cornered.
This time I've told people I'm not drinking any more. The end. I offer no explanation (besides close Family) but unless you're comfortable sharing your reasons- it's not their business and I think it adds pressure. Hope you come up with a plan as you've done so well so far.. Congratulations on day 29!! Nice work!!!
