I will probably do some version of the, "I'm not drinking to see if I feel better without it" kind of thing.
I could even say something about it helping my depression but some of my family gets upset about my depression. This may seem weird but my family is aggressively positive. My sister and foster sister have been very angry with me for being a depressive. I bend over backwards to not talk about it to them . . . sigh.
