update....
In the end, I just hung out with my wife and kids, took a pass on the whole thing, told my brother-in-law "no hard feelings man but I'm just going to stick with the family and not leave your sister alone with four kids" and we met up with a friend for dinner and went to bed at 9.
So nice to be able to just honor my own priorities and not let alcohol control me anymore.
In the "good old days" I'd likely have left my wife alone with the kids and gotten sh**faced, stayed out all night, blown a bunch of money, angered my family, embarassed myself and ruined the next few days.
Sobriety; A Vast Improvement on Life.
Wedding tomorrow.
