I just say I am taking a break from it. The real people won't dwell on it, they accept your decision and that's it.
Not too long ago I went to a biker bar with my buddy and asked for a seltzer.
The whole bar laughed at me. It was hilarious!

What ever happens you are making a very wise choice. You have to take care of you.

I just blew off a drink outing with friends last night to go to a movie by myself. The old me never would have made that choice, but bottom line? Here I am still sober the next morning.
With each choice you make you have to ask yourself, is this person/place/situation going to bring me closer to my recovery goals? Or is it going to make it more difficult for me?
