Thanks for this post and for your honesty. My AV has been pulling similar s**t on me, mainly about my brother's 40th birthday where I could just drink for one night, just have a couple cause I can't possibly cope with it without alcohol and ...BLAH, BLAH, BLAHDY , BLAH!!
All I can say is it sounds like you are doing amazingly well. I'm in my third week after a relapse then two sober weeks before. Please don't come back here, it's hard. People are still pissed with me (quite rightly) and it's hard not to be afraid of what sobriety means for my life. You know that already and when I reach eight months you'll be at sixteen. It's all lies, booze won't make your holiday better.
