But the biggest issue as everyone addressed here is messing up my own sobriety. I feel a little selfish saying I can't go but yeah, sounds like the temptation just won't be worth it.
When it comes to my sobriety, selfish is okay.
And also when it comes to my sobriety, I make the rules.
These people don't need you to get drunk and high - it sounds like they can do that just fine without you.
You walked down the aisle with your husband, not these people.
I wouldn't consider this matter any further.
Glad you raised the issue in this thread.
That's why we're all here.
