I made my wife read that when I was still "trying" to get sober... I wanted her to focus on the parts where it said "be nice to your alcoholic, treat him right, be patient" but she only saw "don't let me club you over the head with this," and "he might be beyond help by now." LMAO

No. It's no one's business that you don't drink or are recovering. That's something you tell them later when there's trust. Plus it can be like that TMI stuff that some people feel compelled to blurt out in the first date or so that sends people running.
Interesting. Personally I'd appreciate people being up-front about something like this. Then again I have to be honest to save my own life. I guess I'll have to reconsider advertising it so openly... I was thinking about just saying "I'm not drinking today" (which is 100% true and exactly how this program works) and only elaborate if they press for details.

I've had good results at work with "I break out in spots" then when they push further "spots like rehabs, hospitals and jails." Also "I've had enough already" when asked why I'm not drinking laugh out loud If they push at that point I'll say something like "I drank up my share in college" or "I had my share, your share and his share before I even met you guys." But that would all seem pretty jive on a date... Scratchchin

Crylol that was the chapter at my woman's group a few weeks ago for BB. We Roll that it was the men in our lives that lived in fear of our next debauch...
Me and JJ watch this show 666 Park Ave on Sundays. It's soooo campy. I was telling a friend about it today -- she and I are like twins in so many tastes- and I recommended the show. The wife of the Demon guy, played by Vanessa Williams, got drugged and kidnapped at a party where she'd been drinking. Husband wanted to keep it from her and he said 'Well you are never shy at parties, hon. After all that champagne, martinis, and wines, I guess you just blacked out. And she's soooo blasé, oh I guess so. Oh well. So how was your day?

We Rofl2 holy cow my SP's were never so nonchalant about blackouts ! Rofl2

I just think lying about why you don't drink won't get you anywhere in the long run. How soon after the first date lie do you call them to make amends for lying? EEK! I think no TMI, but not making up medications or using them as an excuse. I have non drinker friends from way back who'd decline drinks and say 'I don't like the way it makes me feel'. And that can be it, at the start. It's certainly honest.

Yeah, I've been not drinking my whole life and I know how it goes with people bothering you. But for dates, as long as you're not going to bars or clubs it should be easier. It's just my opinion about when to tell a person, of course. But I know from experience that if you make a big deal out of not drinking, then everyone else will too.

I've gotten pretty good at saying "no" in such a way that few people ask questions.
