it's nice to hear and it makes me feel positive. I'm only on day 6 but I'm already thinking about what to say to people when my Dry January excuse runs out. I think I have a plan though. Just to tell them I'm not drinking to save money this year (not a lie). Funny how I'm on day 6 yet im already feeling anxious about future scenarios. People could always rely on me to get drunk with you see.
I sometimes think I will become boring and people won't bother with me anymore, but maybe these people aren't real friends. Who knows, time will tell.....
I'm going on holiday to the US (Disney) this year. I've never been there before but guessing it's not really a booze filled place, and I'll be that tired out and busy I won't have time to think about one (I hope).
That is actually the part I like, call me weird, but when the beers come out I say no and they look all weird, I absolutely love that part.
Im watching my figure, im allergic to booze, im on a health kick, im on antibiotics, I have to drive etc etc and so on.
But to be honest we should if we are living honestly tell them we don't drink because we are Alcoholics.
And stuff them what they think about it, its not all about them, its about everyone.
