University of Florida Gator three times over here! Go Gators!
Cindy, really great stuff. I love your positivity.
Fishy, yup, bummer on the slips, but nice job staying with us and continuing to work.
DD, I agree with others...I think I'd be up front and tell about your sobriety. You mention that the weekend is not all about drinking, so already a crack in the door. You also mention that you were the biggest drinker...maybe some others in your group really could care less about drinking, but that was not noticed by your old self? door opens wider? Finally, you are with great friend...I'm guessing there will be plenty of fun and great conversation to be had with or without the drink. Door is fully open. Just walk through it with little fanfare and enjoy everything else the weekend has to offer.
