When I'm out with others I expect people might drink and like you thats no worries for me now Lucinda.
Like Anna my house is dry and everyone who comes here respects that.
I did lose a few friends over the no alcohol rule - 'who are you to tell me what to do' - but my response was and is - if I can't feel safe and secure in my own house where can I?
That was unfortunate but I gained a lot of new friends since I've been sober too and reconnected with some old ones.
Its teetotal but never a gloomy gathering tho - lots of fun to be had
