Fine. Attend the wedding...skip the reception.

I don't give this advice lightly. I've been on SR four years. I've seen soooo many "I have to go to a wedding" posts, which are usually followed by, "I'm back, day one" posts.

Do people make it through wedding receptions. Sure. A few. The safe bet is to avoid or minimize those things that threaten our sobriety. As I said in my initial reply to your post, successful recovery is about change and our willingness to make the changes we need to make when sobriety is our number one priority.

But we are getting ahead ourselves...you haven't made it through your going away party yet.
