Im only 23 and do not look or behave like an alcoholic. It got really bad and I was close to taking my life at one point. Im sober and I havent drank any alcohol for about 3 months. Today im at a party with friends that i havent seen in over 4 years and Im very sure that they will expect me to drink alcohol.

How do I tell them that im a sober, recovering alcoholic without destroying the vibe?
