Pubs, parties and being around alcohol during recovery.
Today is the 19th day without any alcohol, 19 days ago I had withdrawal seizures and spent three days in hospital which I've made a previous thread about.
Tomorrow my cousin is having a big party (in a local British Legion ie a pub) for his 20th wedding anniversary but I've decided not to go.
The people at the alcohol group I went to all pretty much said they thought it would be a bad idea to put myself in that situation so soon.
Plus I think I would spend half the night having to talk about what happened because everyone would be asking me about it. It's not that I mind talking about it, I'm not ashamed or anything, but I just really don't feel like spending a whole night doing it.
Also I am currently out of work and want a new job. I basically have funds to pay my bills until the end of November but I would rather get one sooner than later.
But then I have people telling me it might be too soon and I should get completely healthy first etc. Then others saying I need to get a job asap.
Anyway, I just wondered what the people on here thought about both situations.
