I have my buddy's wedding that I'm a groomsmen in all day tomorrow. I won't know anybody except the bride and groom, and of course they will be busy all day, so I'll be pretty much alone. My girlfriend didn't want to go as my +1 because she doesn't get along with them (kind of petty when I asked her to go, but oh well).

My best friend in any and all social situations was booze. They are going to have kegs of beer and free wine throughout the day and my social anxiety is going to make it very difficult to not drink so I feel like I "fit in." Just to ease the anxiety of being around so many strangers and being in a role that people look to is enough to make me want to drink.

I see this as another challenge on my path to sobriety and I love to overcome challenges. Recognize the triggers and difficulties and I'll have a plan for when I get there.

Take care all, stay safe, much love!
