Just because it's going to be there doesn't mean you're going to drink it. You'll be tempted but that's ok. It's part of the real world. If it gets to be a bit much, excuse yourself if possible and just drop us a quick line here. Relax but be vigilant and enjoy yourself tonight. All you have to do is not take that first drink and you sound strong enough in your sobriety to do that. You've got it!
