This was awesome! I made the choice a couple weeks ago to take a break from drinking in 2016 and the response was interesting. A lot of my old activities incorporated alcohol pretty heavily (rugby players really love drinking) but for financial and personal reasons, I decided to take a break. I told a couple of my coworkers and they instantly were like, that’s not going to work out and started to try and make me question my ability to do so instantly which was really disappointing but also makes sense as to why those people in particular are my coworkers and not people I consider my friends. Thankfully, my friends that I’ve discussed this with have been really supportive, probably because some of them also don’t drink and the group knows that adding alcohol isn’t a necessity. Thank goodness for having those fine people in my life.
