I'm sorry for your situation.
Oddly enough, I've been in almost the same place. Dinner dancing and free booze.
And ya know what? I probably had six months sober at this time, getting an alcohol drink never crossed my mind.
I didn't even realize it till the next day, when I thought, Hey! I didn't drink.
I carry some pretty heavy emotional baggage with me, too, so you're not alone there.
You're not alone here, either. I see a psych also.
I was a chronic, mentally ill relapse for ten years after being diagnosed.
Help yourself if you can. You did what was right at the party. That's self-care and you should be proud. Please hang in there. Things will get better.
I understand your post.

I'm glad that you're being referred to a trauma counsellor. That sounds like what you need, and I really hope it happens quickly.

I hope it happens quickly too. I'm sure if you pressed on them the urgency of this you could probably get in sooner?

As for free drink...yeah no such thing for me, or drinkers like me. I'd still be paying for that drink for weeks, months maybe years.

For me, there is no such thing as a free drink.

I would pay for it dearly.

Way to go SR! But yes, please get help with that trauma. It will be an obstacle for all of your days until you work with someone that knows how to address it.

Piping in to send support and also....I didn't go anywhere that had alcohol for a good while.

Sorry about your friend and minister - like with outings and events, I had to put my sobriety before people.
