Mixed emotions.... This is my first xmas ; I'm a noobie at 4 months sobriety.
The first of the holiday parties last week went fine. No worries.
Tonight is another holiday party at my GF's company. I don't get the cravings to drink but I DO become apprehensive about being judged or put on the spot.. I think it's a cognitive distortion, though, because when my life revolved around drinking it felt like others had the same mindset. I just have to push through with the thought that most people aren't paying that much attention to my beverage choice.
