Is it possible for anyone to just drink on special occasions, but not let it get out of hand? Has anyone tried this?
For me, one "special occasion" would only lead to more "special occasions." I think bamboozle said it up there some where and I'm going to say it too, but I wouldn't be going to a bachlorette party freshly sober and trying to stay that way.
I don't think anyone is trying to tell you what to do but MAINLY speaking from experience and knowing that it has NOT worked for us in the past.
Living in sobriety is going to take some life changing. Hope you'll keep reading and posting. No matter what, you'll get good support and insight here.
