Is this playing it safe or isolating myself?
Some friends of mine are having jewelry party/Christmas and Ugly sweater parties on the upcoming weekends. I have been to a couple of Christmas functions already where there is alcohol and did fine. These jewelry parties are at houses and there will be drinking at them. Absolutely no part of me wants to attend either one of them, even though there are other things to do like buy things and have fun with our ugly sweaters. I am not sure if this is me trying to protect my sobriety or if this is me isolating myself. I am definitely starting to venture out now at 7 months sober but the thought of going to those parties make me very anxious. Any thoughts?
