No, thanks. Not today or in future. Yesterday I had dinner with a friend at a local restaurant (yes, we were safe) and she asked why I didn't order wine or beer. She's a nurse, so she knows what's going on with alcohol abuse. I just told her I used to drink too much and decided to quit and we talked about that for a while. She had two small beers and was "happy" while I was totally sober. I came to the conclusion that after over a year without drinking and very few occasions to go out for dinner, I need to be always aware that "just one beer" isn't an option. At the same time, I can now look back at my decision as a real turning point in my life and feel ok when I talk about that with a friend. People may come up with the same question. If it comes from a friend, don't feel embarrassed. We had a great time and now she knows that I don't need a drink for dinner.
