This!!!!
I eventually realized my XAH, sober or not, was going to hate family functions. I gave him an out and said eh..you don't have to do this, but I am.
One thing I will say however is that there would be no drinking or I would not be there. That's just me. It amazes me that people expect a person who is in recovery to sit through functions and watch other people drink. Out of respect I would never do that.

AH can throw all his toys out of the pram if he wants. Leave him to it! If he is going to drink, he will do it whatever you do.
