This is what I'm worried about, that I won't enjoy it because all I was really going for is the booze.. And the same thing re drunk people..
My partner said he will only have a drink or two as he knows I'm going sober and that I can handle but can't trust that he will follow that. We do have his youngest sons 9th bday party the next day so hopefully he will stick to it..
Dee my 2 Stepkids that are coming along are 16 and 20 year old boys so they don't need a responsible adult but I'm not really worried about drinking as I'm driving.
I don't want to be that boring person, I'm socially very very shy without booze...and not much of a pretender..
