Erin,, I had a similar situation lastvnight, went to a dinner party and there was champagne, expensive wine and imported beer. I was not the only one not drinking, but as I sat at the table watching glasses being refilled, I had thoughts of how one glass would be OK, just one to tast that great wine, have a sip of the Italian champagne. I let that thought flit through, observed it, and thought of all the posts I've read here and the realization i came to that one is never enough. I played the night through in my head as to what would happen after the first glass, and I knew all too well that I'd be anxious and fretting about getting a refill, and after that, how could I get one more without anyone noticing, and how long before we could go home. Then I'd just have to stay up a few minutes until my H ws asleep and I could drink more, until I stumbled to bed.
It's a lot easier to not have the first drink.
Thanks for sharing your success with us. Happy Easter!
Nellie
