Yes you can. You are making a conscious choice that this party is more important than your sobriety. All the tips in the world on how to not drink will make this party safe enough to risk it. Maybe you wonāt drink, or maybe youāll relapse and never get back on the wagon.
In my 8 years on this forum I have seen this exact situation come up hundreds of times. And Iād say the success rate is less than 50%.
You have your whole life for parties. This is the time to make up an illness or an emergency

Day 66
Good morning
I didnāt check in yesterday as I had some things to do. I was supposed to get a car and that was a bunch of bull all in its own. I now have to go today and see if I am getting it. Hopefully the guy doesnāt screw me over again. With starting this new chapter in life I am replacing the old and in with the new. My home is starting to feel like a home for me. I am proud of where I am at right now. I have a birthday to go to this weekend and my plan if I get uncomfortable is to just leave. I hope it doesnāt end that way though. I miss all the people I am gonna be seeing. Weāll I hope you all have a great sober day.

Really good advice. I kind of sat with them yesterday to do just that. Doing that takes the power away and refocuses my brain to a better solution.

Checking in on day 19!
It is soooo foggy. Normally I would use days like this as an excuse to start drinking early and just coop up. Still cooping up, but with a cup of coffee instead. Each day that I wake up with more mental clarity it reinforces that I am grateful to have not drank. The cravings are absolutely there, so I have to really take the time to tell myself I donāt need it. This app, redditās r/stopdrinking sub, and reading the AA book have been very helpful in starting and keeping my sobriety. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Reminded me of a quote that was very useful for me:
āI always regret drinking. I never regret not drinkingā
Very true in my experience. Enjoy your morning without regret!

Day 1453
Still feeling really under the weather 
Ive been sick since Sunday/Monday and its starting to effect me mentally. I cant sleep during the day bcuz I have to care for my son who is still home from school (hes doing better thankfully but not 100% just yet). Im feeling quite disconnected from the world being stuck inside. I feel disconnected from TS too just bcuz I dont have much energy to read with my sinus headache. But this too shall passā¦ eventually. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Hey everyone. Quickly checking in on day 168. Super behind today. We stayed up binging Monarch Legend of Monstersā¦. 5 stars in my opinion (obviously since I couldnāt stop). About to knock out this challenge and get this day going. Sober of course.

For most of those days I have lived across the street from a bar I use to frequent in a tweaky RV park. I scored my last bag of dope in this park. The guy i scored it from lived next door when I moved in.
It was my alcohol free safety zone. I treated my neighbor like i hated him. He dissapeared and new tweaky neighbors moved in.
I just kept to myself. Minded my own business and fed my inner artist instead of my inner alcoholic.
Today im packing up and sailing on. Leaving this place in the rear view mirror.
No tweaky neighbors anymore. There are bars. But i dont frequent those.
Im excited for a new beginning. Nobody knows me as a drunk where im going. I was a horrible drunk hereā¦ People wont remember me as that though.
The horrible drunk is firedā¦

Day 1 update: im diagnosed as anemic now. I canāt believe I let myself get this bad. Iām extremely discouraged and I feel Iāve let myself down. Iām not feeling well at all. My mood is super low and my energy is non existent..I just want to lay around all day and sleep. Iāve been talking to my therapist and sheās trying really hard to convince me to admit myself on a voluntary basis to inpatient for help but Iām not sure thatās the way I want to go. While talking to her I was able to identify a pro to admitting myself which would be because Iām self harming daily, an inpatient admission would force a break from that cycle. However even when being able to identify this pro, Iām anxious over the decision to agree to that. I think Iām really afraid that admitting myself will prove that I canāt stop by myself and I need more help than Iām receiving and that scares me a lot. So Iām not so sure what Iām going to do. Iām not at all suicidal so my therapist can only recommend that I go inpatient but I do not need to be admitted involuntarily. Iāll keep everyone updated I just hope I find a solution that helps!
