I?ve also told people that I can?t drink alcohol anymore because it gives me heartburn and I don?t want to be up all night. Also the truth! I think that sometimes we worry so much about what other people are going to think about us if we don?t drink?when in reality we are far more concerned about it than they are. I guess the point I?m trying to make is this: Just keep it simple. You don?t owe anyone an explanation.
Maybe some will think this approach is too simple, or easier said than done. But you never know until you try, I?d bet you?d be surprised that most people will drop the issue pretty quickly.
I hope my 2 cents will help some of you. Every aspect of fighting this beast DOES get easier in time, so please stay strong. I like to repeat to myself my two favorite sayings:
1) A craving will never last as long as a hangover; and
2) Nobody ever wakes up in the morning wishing they?d got drunk the night before
Peace and strength everyone!!!
