I had to face 2 huge gatherings within 2 months of my sobriety. It was NOT fun. Half way through both I was so sick of drunks! Seriously. It was an eye opening experience to see how stupid drunks act!
Things I did:
I made myself DD. Hauled people from gatherings to hotels.
Told people I wasn't drinking. Can't remember what I told them, but they knew.
Found a computer and got on SR.
I made sure my husband was 100% behind me...nobody was going to 'talk me into' drinking.....most of all myself.
I made sure that I was truly going for the 'right' reason...because I had family and business obligations. I wasn't going to start drinking again.
It is hard. But, I do know this. It made me stronger. I really watched how people acted. Learned a lot. In some ways, I think it made my sobriety stronger. If I can get through that...I have a chance at lifetime sobriety.
Today, if there is even an ounce of you that says 'well, maybe one'....I would stay home. 54 days is too much to simply throw away. Good luck to you....let us know how it went.
