For me, id do whatever I needed to do
to stay sober. Go to any lengths to stay
sober. I'd find a way out of the meeting,
without lying. Something always seemed
to pop up for me to get out of a meeting.
If you absolutely have to go, one can have
an excuse to leave early without lying. Lying
would result in returning to make amends
for lying. Have someone beside you that's
not drinking for a support system. Drink non
alcoholic drinks. Id get out, away from that
atmosphere a quickly as I could because
being around others that are drinking would
be uncomfortable because I can't communicate
with others under the enfluence when Im not.
I had my children when they were young when
I got sober, so my life was kids and an at home
mom. I could get out of many things with my
spouse at that time to attend functions I didn't
want to go to or didn't feel comfortable going to.
Many folks drink and loose their jobs and
other things. If I drank I wouldn't have a
job, life.....nothing..!!!!
Yes, I would absolutely feel uncomfortable
if I had to go. Choose what is right for you
and the situation you are in to stay sober.
