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!
I went to my very first party, sober, 2 week-ends ago.
I know how you feel.
I made it through without drinking and actually enjoyed myself. I was afraid I wouldn't know what to do or how to act!
I told everyone I had to drive which is why I wasn't drinking.
Have a great, sober time and make sure you come back and let us know how it goes!!
