I would do anything I needed to do to
protect my sobriety and recovery. Even
if it means going in a car by myself for
a quick get away.
Honestly I would tell my spouse that
i would be taking my car because in
early recovery Im still new and that
being around alcohol makes me squirrley.
I would have a back up plan to tell
family id need to leave early, even if
it means going to a meeting.
I never lie, but if being around alcohol
in early recovery makes me uncomfortable
then I dont need to place myself in a
sticky situation.
People can understand it or not, but im
taking care of me because no one else
will.
