how I handled it early on is different than how I handled it early on.
early on, I was quite sensitive to accusations, so I got defensive.
the longer I was sober, I outgrew that sensitivity. I know the truth- that being that I haven't drank. and if anyone wants to think I have drank...welp..I know the truth and if anyone wants to have that opinion, they are free to have it and its their problem, not mine.
