Welcome Doin This!
Congratulations on 23 days, that is great. If you are going to the wedding, you need to have a SERIOUS talk with the besties about your sobriety, your concerns about triggers, and your need for support. My friends minimized my concerns in the beginning too but once I was serious and stern and asked them for help, they are 100% supportive. If your friends are anything like mine, they won't drink themselves, will watch you like a hawk all night, and will listen sympathetically when you cry about the beach and your mom (which we both know is totally going to happen.) If there is an after party, skip it and take a relaxing hot bath in the hotel room and watch a movie. I repeat, skip the afterparty! You can attend a wedding ceremony, eat dinner, dance and catch up with friends sober but late night drunk fest? Absolutely not! Get real with the gfs, make a plan of what to do ic you really feel your sobriety is compromised, and please take good care of yourself! Xo
