I need advice

Hi y'all,

Remaining abstinent without any difficulties at all, loving my sober brain and all that goes with it. But (big but!), I am having AV issues with an upcoming event.

Here goes.....My husband (alcoholic, but, so far, is successfully moderating) and I are HUGE medieval history buffs and Renaissance Faire goers. Full on costumes, weaponry, you name it, we are always all in every season (first weekend in October through Thanksgiving Friday).

I do not feel that I can go this year. I think I would drink - OMG - I can't believe I just typed that. What does that mean? Does that mean my Big Plan is for $hit? How can that be? Very scary to me.

So, because of these feelings, I will abstain from the Faire this year - my husband doesn't know this yet, but I feel I must to remain true to my sober self. It's like the Faire is complete Beast territory - and I know that - so it's best to simply stay away. Full retreat.

Any thoughts on this? Thank you so much.

Pam
