Two days in and getting anxious about a wedding in May? Yeah, I'd say you are thinking too far ahead.

I went to my wife's son's wedding after nine months sober. I wasn't worried about all the alcohol. I was worried about my discomfort. Her ex-husband would be there, his family, etc. I was worried that feeling uncomfortable would drive me drink.

It didn't. By that time I was well into my recovery and had all the tools to handle it.

However, if you struggle to stay sober between now and May, you can expect ANY alcohol-fueled celebration to be a challenge.
