At a x-mas party....
Dee has a good point. Parties are for fun and right now you are not having fun but are struggling and if you pick up to join the crowd, it won't be fun tomorrow when you beat yourself up and have to start at day one again (that is if you don't just keep drinking).
Tell them you have to go (headache is a good excuse) and bail....make sure to get yourself a big slice of chocolate cake as a reward for being so good
and call your sponsor.
Oh shoot...just read your post about the boss.

You do not drink, you are a sober woman who is appreciated by her boss and just got a bonus.
Now your beast/disease/alcoholism wants to get blasted. That nagging little voice making you jealous is your addictive voice (your AV). It wants to drink but you do not drink. This is not you.
When that thought comes again, address it mentally and state:
I do not drink and this is not negotiable.
Separate you Charlie from the AV.
PS: and bail out asap

Every time that voice in your head says something about a drink just say back to it " No thank you, I don't drink".
You can do this and still have fun. Think about what you're going to spend that bonus on for example.

Thanks Dark, I have got this, two months until I have year. Everyone who responded saved me a little today! Thanks! You really don't know how much it means to have people behind you who understand. Even if I drank, I know you would be there for me.
