ahh something i have delt with myself...never been much of a drinker...but in 2007 i seemed to go on this binge and met a lot of drinking partners and bartenders who only knew me as a drinker.

i didn't offer the informatioin ..they figuared out something was up when i would go to the bar/restaurant and order a coke
anyways i said that i was taking a break 'forever' they would ask...i said no just for a few months or sogive my liver a rest for awhile...haven't been feelin up to par recently i go overboard...which i don't think i go more overboard than everyone else but i was trying to make it all about me so they wouldn't think i was superior for quitting
i also didn't want to say 'yes' quitting forever because i didn't want anyone to put any expectations on me and if i did slip or decide i wanted to drink again i didn't want to look like a failure or i have this huge problem..i iwouldbe forever known as the one that tried to quit but didn't

and if i decided to stay quit and a few months is up no one would notice and i would just keep not drinking....,,it's a little easier for me though becasue tried to start back up and alcohol get me violently sick even just a tiny amounts so people understand my decision a little more
