Blerg. One of my good friends is visiting from out of town and we’re going to a beer bar tonight to hang out. I haven’t yet told him that I don’t drink anymore (12 days and counting) but he’ll completely get it… I’m not worried about judgment or anything. My very sober, supportive spouse will be there too. And I don’t want to drink and I’m not worried about relapsing.
But I feel anxious. Panicky. Can’t place the cause. I have no doubt it’ll ease up as soon as I tell my friend, and I’m at the bar with a non-alcohol drink in my hand. It’s probably just the anticipation.
Anyway… Just wanted to touch base with some of you who get it. Thanks
