Doubt

Hi friends!

Tonight I went to a christmas party. I drank my tonic water and lime, ate tons and had interesting conversations I enjoyed with people who were drinking and some were tipsy. I had planned on leaving early but was having a good time so stayed until 11:30 (which is still early if you consider I helped shut down the party at God kn ows what time last year).

My question/concern is not that I wanted to drink (no desire to drink, still, thank God)....my problem is that I feel like my experiences are so atypical that I am setting myself up for an epic fail....but I can't see how. Getting sober has been too easy. Yes, I am doing self improvement work, which is important....and I obviously spend a lot of time here...but that's pretty much it.

And its not like I wasn't a 'real alcoholic'....I drank 2 litders of wine a night for 5 years all while trying to stop and being unable.

I don't know if I am doing something wrong or reading too much here and comparing myself to others.

Just looking for some advice....thanks….
