Good on you for not lifting a drink.
I found family get togethers tough.
When I was only a few months sober I spent Christmas in Australia with my husbands family. They all drink like fish. On top of that it was my b'day 4 days before Christmas.
I got through it but it wasn't easy.
When I felt stressed I disappeared for a bit just to collect my thoughts.
A lot times I had to stay away from family functions as I was too scared to attend.
Thankfully things have got easier - but it takes time.
