Again, this is not for them but to stop me from thinking about it.
When I'm ask if I want a beer I just say no not today. So far 100 % of the time I get no follow up questioning. I will say I would Frabricate a story in a minute if I thought it was necessary to maintain sobriety. Why not I used to lie like crazy so I could drink!😜
