Hi Suekie,
I'm three years and three months sober. I had a horribly stressful day at home, one son estranged and the other left town for his new career in Denver. Here at home we'll have Xmas dinner tomorrow I feel that I'm being stretched too thin and this is the ultimate test. If I have will power enough to go 3.5 years (I believe this is AV talking), shouldn't I be able to have will power to have 2 glasses and then switch to water so that I can take the edge of what has been a horrid day and enjoy myself OUT or staying in for the first time in months by drinking? I know I can enjoy myself sober too.
I know what the answers are going to be. I know what I should do. I don't know if I'm going to make the right choice.
I said should! Sorry, if you don't should on me, I won't should on you.
What is your advice for me?
Never mind, I don't drink and have enjoyed myself out many times. I never wake up regretting my fear from not knowing exactly what happened.
