Nochance good job on not drinking, one very important thing especially early in sobriety is always make sure you have a way out!!!!
Have no one depending on you for transportation, nor depend upon anyone for transportation unless they agree that when you say it is time to go, it is time to go!!!

Yeah I can relate to that.
I must've been like 4 months sober and I went to my BF's friends wedding and they started boozing at like 2pm, and it was a warm summers day and they had bubbly wine in fancy glasses and my head was like...ummmm
But weirdest or weird things happened when this guy, who was also a friend of my BF's, came and sat at our table. He'd given up smoking pot (on his own) about the same time I'd started attending AA and he started talking about how he was going to start it again. Out loud I said to him, "So what makes you think it will be any different?" It was just what I needed to hear. And I left the wedding not long after still sober.
It was freaky.

It is amazing to see drinking thru sober eyes!! Congrats on making it thru the wedding. I recently went to the beach with a group and saw how I had been. Eye Opener!!
Making it thru gave me such strength and hope in myself and my future!

I can identify! While I have no problems mixing sober with people who are 'normal' social drinkers and just enjoying themselves, being around extremely drunken partygoers is terrible because it reminds me so much of my own drunkenness in the past --

Sometimes I can be around it ... sometimes I can't.
Depends not only on my *own* state of mind/spirit,
but what's being drunk,
who's being drunk...
best part of the story is - you got through it!
