Another challenge!
And so the dreaded wedding weekend has arrived, we set off tomorrow. Just found out last night (yeah he likes to control the information flow)that his ex-wife and toxic daughter are in the same hotel for the same two nights. He's not speaking to me either as I asked why about the two nights and in the same hotel as them. Here we go.............................
Sober all the way, the biggest promise to myself, sober no matter what! I'd like to aim for "grace under fire" also, but I'm not putting too much on myself, sober, sober, sober will be really something and I want it to be my first post when I get back on Sunday.
Hope you're all facing a much more pleasant weekend and thanks for being there.

I'm facing something similar on Sunday. A big family get together and I'm dreading it. But I plan to get through it completely sober although there will be lots and lots of free booze on offer!
Best of luck to you I'm sure you will be fine.

Back now............. sober the whole time, Yeah!! Several times I had champagne put into my hands, I even raised it to my lips at one toast, but did not drink and never intended to. The promise I made to myself held solid.
The weekend was really hard, but I did well, "Grace under fire" for at least most of it. I now feel exhausted and pretty raw, but proud of myself.
Mixing with lots his of family I don't often see, I found out about some lies he's told me, this just made me feel sick. I've not said anything, I'm leaving it as I already know the relationship is a bad one, trying for another resolution on something is pointless.
I wonder though if I would have heard or remembered this information had I been drinking, I would have definitely reacted if I had. VERY new territory and far from easy.
