Congratulations on your sober time - I would have had a very difficult time being around alcohol that early in the game. Truth be told, I was still find it difficult today!

So - you have choices. You can arrange ahead of time to be out of the house when her friend is over having a drink, or you could try a 'no alcohol' rule in the house. Maybe she could go elsewhere to do her drinking?

That still leaves the smell of booze on her - an understandable turnoff (or turn-on) for the recovering alkie. My ex would go out for two beer and come home and I could taste it on him. And I almost got a craving for a beer!

So - choices .. tough ones, but yes, choices.

Give yourselves some time to cool down and then maybe talk it over again.

Good luck.
