You donāt owe him any explanation other than your giving it a miss and wonāt be lifting with him. Stand up for your self and what you want. You owe him nothing. Donāt over think it. Just tell him and donāt cave after you do. It will be fine.

Day 748, sunny Saturday. Feeling good, I guess. Itās sooooooo cold. I ran yesterday, hell with my gut. 
I have absolutely no idea what I can do about it.
Today I will grab my MTB and take a small ride. Planning on the new kitchen is going on. Wrote my landlord for termination of my apartment. I am so happy. And scared a bit how it will end. But this is not before end of January and no need to worry now.
Reading a lot about ppl struggling. We all can do it ODAAT. This community is so valuable and itās easy to reach out and get help or just vent.

Nearly day 103
I stayed sober for my night out, as I was sure I would. Been burnt enough times. And it was an OK evening I guess, but made me feel sad, even cried when I got home.
I remembered how socially awkward I am. Even with friends sometimes I donāt know what to say and panic. Of course, I used to hide behind alcohol but nothing to hide behind now. And I just feel so upset that I wasted 20 years hiding behind alcohol instead of learning how to be less socially awkward. Starting to learn how to talk like a regular person at nearly 40 seems so entirely pathetic and almost pointless. There were a couple of other little things that made me feel a bit left out too, the fact that almost all foreigners in Japan like anime and cosplay and I donāt, so I am totally a spare wheel for that part of the conversation, and after the meal everyone headed to Starbucks for coffee but I had to come home because my husband had band practise. Sometimes I just feel like there is some key to enjoying life that I just donāt have.

Welcome. We are all struggling to be better people without the false friend that is alcohol.

Well, if it makes you feel any better I go through that also. I think a lot of us do, so we are all alike in that respect~! Itās just life and we are doing our bestā¦ 
I kind of embrace our differences/quirks.
