What would really help in a situation
like this is to have a recovery buddy
to be with you. Someone in recovery
that can be near you so that knowing
they are there with you you both can
support each other while others are
drinking.
This person would not be drinking
alcohol along with you and you both
can give each other strength to make
it to the end.
With this situation and how it is making
you feel, you will know now that you don't
have to place yourself or set yourself up
in a situation where alcohol is present.
Another thing is is to have an outlet. Without
lieing because if you do you would have to return
to make amends, so, if there is a way to go in ur
own car to leave early then do it. What you are
learning to do is take care of urself now that sobriety
is that important to you.
That you will go any lengths to protect it,
your health and peace of mind.
Other folks, family members will probably
not understand and they may get angry
about you taking care of your needs, however,
you remaining sober under any circumstances
is extremely important.
Having a support line, group, someone
that can have your back so that you never
have to face abything in life alone is also
important.
Wearing your recovery armour means
incorporating steps and tools and knowledge
of a recovery program in all areas of your life.
Its wearing willingness, openmindedness
and honesty in all you do to help u avoid
picking up poison and making things worse.
If you can leave early then that would
be perfect for you since you are in early
recovery. Protect your sobriety with your
recovery coat of armour.
