I started working out again and that doesn't go with alcohol very well.

Having a drink will take away a week of progress in the gym. And I prefer to continously progress.

It also helps as an excuse, if someone needs it and you don't feel comfortable revealing past problems.

I'm pretty comfortable revealing it myself now. I've discovered that people mostly don't care, or think its pretty cool. I mean, I had a problem, I fixed a problem, if you have a problem with that, I don't really want you in my life. That said, I've not had to kick anyone out of my life yet.

The gym thing is a good bit of advice though if you don't want to reveal it! "Sorry can't drink, busy getting swole."
