Thanks Brenda,
I've never gone to party sober, nor had I ever intended to leave one that way...until now. I still don't know how to present my sober committment, if at all? Do I "announce" to my family that I have stopped drinking forever, or do I quietly seltzer-and-lemon-wedge it? My partner has always been the DD because he had no choice, so tomorrow will be very interesting. The truth is that most of them will be so buzzed by the time I get there that they probably won't even notice my abstinence...but I will.
Onward!
