Thanks everyone for the wonderful advice!! Really appreciated and taken to heart!!
I just want to clarify that my sober self knows that this day is NOT about me, of course I have this awareness!! If only it were that simple to stay sober by *just focusing*
The alcoholic demon in me doesnt care and will try and rationalize having a drink. This is what I am planning for and doing everything in my power beforehand to have tools at the ready.
I simply do not do well at functions where alcohol is served in abundance.
Go figure? lol
