But I think I'm more of a faliure, rather then a success, in my families eyes.
My sister and all my cousins have all been to, and finished, uni. And now they've all got really good jobs.
I didn't do any of that. Actually, I don't even have a job!

I think the enviroment should be ok. I don't find it too difficult to be around people drinking and alcohol when I'm not drinking myself.
Yea, I guess I do kinda want to go. I'm just a bit self-concious of what people think of me, given that some of my crazy alcohol influenced antics are known to them.

This isn't about my sobriety. It's about my self esteem, I guess.
