no, im not saying you should avoid every situation. you say it is one where 99% of the poeple will be drinking.do you think it would be wise to walk into a situation where 99% of the people will be drinking? do you feel that early on it would be wise to do that? do you feel that you can hang around a crowd of people who are drinking and not have the the thought of drinking cross you mind and run with it?
i have been sober for a few 24's now. early on, i knew i had to change wet places and wet faces.i knew the problem was me and not everyone else who drank, but the great thing was that i didnt completely fry my brain and i remembered some of the times i had tried to stop drinking without changing wet places and wt faces. it didnt take long and i was drunk.
today, i dont avoid palces where there is alcohol, but i have a few things to llok at when i go into the.
1) make sure my motive for being there is good
2) have an escape route.i am powerless over whether the thought will enter my mind, but not powerless over what i do with it. if the thought hits, i leave
3) be in fit spiritual condition.
