So, my Holidays are dry. I spend them with friends who dont drink. This is the same couple from the story I posted where I lost my mind and yelled “i got diarrhea” to get out of drinking. It was early on in my sobriety, and I way over prepared what to say…anyway…
I show up, and everyone is drinking wine. Wtf…never happened before. The guy that is hosting the party hands me a glass of wine. I smile, “I have diarrhea”. He looks at me and says, “again?”. I respond, “just fucking with you, i dont drink.”…he said ok…and I stayed sober…but the look on his face…priceless…
I do Thanksgiving dinner at my house, so that was easy enough to control. Christmas eve we go to a family members house,there is alot of drinking,and I’m alil concerned. I have a very supportive family, I just dont wanna feel like the family drunk,that people feel like they have to say, “Ooooh, well good for you, I should quit too.” Its just awkward! We have a camp,and I’ve avoided going because that involves ALOT of drinking. Its 2 hours away, and I can’t take myself out of the situation, and its still too tempting to me, I’ve only been sober for alil over 90 days.
