Sometimes the choices in early recovery are hard ones.

We don't keep alcohol in the house, nor do we serve it, so if someone brings wine, we give it away. There are so many things you can serve for drinks- sparkling water with lemon is a great opion. In my opinion, you do not owe anybody an explanation as to why you drink or not.

You can try keeping a journal of your thoughts, and when the voice starts speaking to you, go back and re-read how you felt when you last drank. Re-read how good you are feeling now, and it might help you not want to go back.
