It’s 11:33 PM and I went to a shrimp boil at my boyfriends house. I got there at 3:30 and started feverishly cleaning and helping him set up and it started with company at 6 PM.
I got my fresh ginger 7-Up and lime drink and it was delicious and when people asked what I was drinking I let them try it and they thought it was so refreshing .
I know my ABF has told everyone already that I don’t drink because no one asked me why I wasn’t drinking . I find that a little awkward I would rather tell people myself .
But anyway ABF got super drunk and slurring his words, wanting to know if I would just spend the night with him . I told him three times that I’m on call for the hospital tomorrow I need to get home to get some sleep . He would not let it drop including saying really loudly on his front doorstep how this “sucks” that I’m leaving . was texting and texting me as I was driving. Then he called me and asked me why I was leaving and why I left and I said I don’t want to discuss it anymore because he’s drunk. I already explained it four times and I was tired of explaining it over and over .
I said I’m concerned about you and I love you and please tell me when you are horizontal in bed so that I know you are OK and please drink some water .
I ended up having to block him for tonight because I do need my sleep because I really am on - emergency call tomorrow morning — and I was feeling rather uncomfortable around all of these drunk people. And it’s not that I was enticed it’s just that I felt it was time to go home .
So why am I feeling so irritated right now? I’m so aggravated with him .
Would appreciate any insight or experiences from my friends here

Great job! And plenty of good stuff YOU did to prepare.
My only kindly words of follow up are something Dee and others often mention around here....our minds can feel great from a sober success like this, and sometimes sneaky thoughts of I can handle it now creep in...days or weeks from now. Keep up your thoughtfulness and commitment and I bet you will keep growing in your sober confidence and preparation for upcoming things.

Well done, Atlast9999!
Like August said, don't let down your guard now, sometimes the AV gets more active after an event like this.
You've got this.
And yeah, drama. That about sums it up with drinkers. Ask me how I know!

So proud of you - for hosting a big event in style, dealing with drinking drama (not your own!), and doing what is the best and healthiest thing for you and your life. Good on you, as the Aussies say.
