Sober Situations!
Had an 'encounter' on Easter...not a big deal (but obviously not a small one, if I'm still thinking about it) and just wondered how many of you have situations similar to this, and how you deal with it.
We had dinner.....I was the only one who didn't drink the wine. Didn't really think anything of it. The people that were there do not have drinking problems. Later that afternoon, a kind (she really is!) elderly lady brought me a shot of kahlua. At this point, no one else was drinking.
So, I smelled it and said, "oh, coffee liqour". She wanted me to taste it. I said no thanks. She insisted. Finally someone else said, "she doesn't drink". The poor woman looked crushed! What was she to do with that shot in her hand! A man there said he would drink it, so off it went.
I dont' know where my point is with this, or if I even have one. I guess it's just another opportunity to practice happy sobriety!
