Do whats best for you

Hi Donovan,
I can empathize with your situation, but the reality is friends who wont stay and hang out with you if you decided to stay sober are what i call drinking freinds. They are around when the party is happening but will most likley leave, but honestly i say who cares, anyone that is ur friend will stay by your side. I lost many friends after i stopped drinking but i also gained some old real friends back. So i think do what is best for you. You have to live with urself. And honestly i wouldnt trade my relaxing time on my couch at home for a night partying for nothing. At least you know u can wake up i the morning feeling good.

I realize this is an old thread that surfaced, but I saw an another retort that someone suggested, when asked: do you want a drink?

"My usual follow-up comment is "I've already drank my share. And your share. And his share, and her share, and their share..."

Hugs and courage to all of us!

Protect your quit with your life. If you dont want to drink avoid those situations for the time being. People and places will always be there, at the end of the day its your life and family that you need to protect, not other peoples feelings. If they are friends they will understand, if they dont understand they are not friends you need at this stage.

I need to 'come out' as a non-drinker. But I'm worried people will avoid me like the plague and I'm worried that I won't see any point in socialising :wahh: There's no way I can sit in a pub drinking lemonade while everyone around me gets pissed. I'd rather be at home on my own watching the TV away from temptation.....but that's not good either

I tried to quit AL many times before but failed because I was too ashamed to tell people that I was trying to quit drinking. I would do well and then fail over and over and I know its because I kept the quit to myself and here. With this quit I told everyone and the support that I have is amazing. And this quit is now 3 years strong and its all thanks to God and MWO and my friends and family. This quit feels like its the one and the fact that I told everyone has made this quit the easiest quit yet. Course I plan to never drink al again, but I still do ODAAT when I need to.

You said you were worried about upsetting her.

How about telling her you have a problem with alcohol and are quitting, you can meet for a coffee, watch a movie, have a girlie night in - but you really need to not drink.

Protecting your quit is the most important thing, I'm sure most friends would be absolutely fine not drinking if it's an issue for you. I am also sure most friends probably don't like you drunk from the sound of it, so it's not that much of an issue.

Saying it out loud to friends and family can be really hard, but the benefits for everyone usually far outweigh the negatives.
