One crazy night
I went to a shower for a family member over the weekend. I told myself I would eat, watch her open presents and get the heck out! These woman are heavy drinkers and pot smokers. Good God! The drinking and smoking began right away, so of course it took them forever to get the food out. I kept saying, "Let me get the food out for you." Lol
Then it took forever to open presents! I tried to talk to my Mom-in-law but she was stoned out of her mind!
I spent the whole time in the kitchen with the only other sober person, away from the party.
My anxiety was through the roof. The host kept asking me why I was not drinking the spiked punch. Ugh! I can't blame her, the last party I drank half the bowl!
When gifts were open, I didn't walk out of there I ran! Lol
This is my family folks, full of drunks, pot heads, and who knows what else.
I love them lots. And I definitely saw the crazy that night, and was thankful I wasn't apart of it anymore. Thankful that I am breaking that family tradition for my children.
I do hope one day I will be strong enough to be around them again. But for now I will have to deeply send my regrets for not showing up.
I am grateful I made it out of there with my sobriety intact.
Thanks for listening

Being around people with those habits would make it hard to stay sober, I'd think. Hard, but not impossible. It depends on how badly you want to be sober. That said, it might be best to avoid their company for a while til you're more secure in your sobriety.
