Last night I received a text from a friend that wanted to meet for dinner and then drinks. I declined and responded with"Thanks so much for thinking of me but, I'm taking a break from alcohol for a while...have just drank way too much lately..I hope you understand". Well, it was easier than I thought and she wrote back that maybe she should be doing the same thing. To be honest, the invite was my first test...one of many to come I'm sure but I'm happy that I had NO DESIRE whatsoever to get out there and start this nightmare all over again.
