Due to poor judgement and my addictive personality, I have recently quit drinking. (If anyone saw me at the last Bar 9 you know why.) Or at least I decided to take a few months off to be "sober" (undrunk anyway).
Now my boss wants to go out for drinks after work today, and I said yes. BTW, not in a shady way, he's a cool guy, we've hung before, even smoked together at the Dead show. But I feel like I'd rather have a drink or two than explain to him why I'm not drinking. You can't just say, "I quit" without people wanting to know the embarrassing story behind it. Is that weird?
