Etta, I've been around drinkers in social situations a few times since I started my efforts but I'm trying to limit that exposure now, as I know I'm not as strong as I want to be just yet. I think Dee has it right about taking some time out of the party scene. He's also right that sitting out some of the parties is not the same as holing yourself up and doing nothing. There are a lot of things we can do while we're figuring it all out. As long as we respect that process we can get through it.
