Serene ~ I guess it would be pretty hard if my family didn't know I am in recovery.
And feeling like you do with regards to the way your dad treats your sister, I can understand you not being comfortable putting it out there. So, I think what
Dee said is spot on. If you ever find yourself in this situation again, saying that alcohol disagrees with you, or upsets your stomach is just fine.
As far as resetting your date, well, you didn't drink.
And although I do not agree with it, a lot of people here talk about using alcohol in food. It's a big no for me, but that's me.
As
Dee said, you didn't awaken the beast.
And it lead to a very honest and important discussion with your fiance. (I don't have to call him 'the boy' anymore!
)
So maybe this happened for some very good reasons ~ and perhaps down the line you may consider having a conversation with your dad. Or not. Your call.
You are doing incredibly well; and I really hope you will not let this get you down. Onwards my beautiful friend!!
