If you really feel you might slip at this get together can you meet your uncle and aunt somewhere else maybe on a different day?

Oh Dee I'm going to make sure I don't slip. If I get closer to next weekend and still feel as anxious- I will say I'm unwell and reschedule for another time(they're here for a few weeks) but I am driving there with my boys, so wouldn't drink drive anyway..
I'll get there later than everyone and hopefully just have the strength to say no. (Whether that be through an excuse of anti biotics, tummy bug or whatever)
I guess posting here to you all is making me think ahead and be accountable. I don't want to have to deal with any surprises..that's when I do slip
