Being able open up and be apart of this online community has helped me reevaluated my approach to sobriety. It seems like, one has to restart with a blank sheet before going to make amends to those I’ve wronged.
With that said, I’ve just come off a 2 month bridge and 5 months sober before that. I’m involved with a professional nonprofit organization that meets once a month to build professional relationships and make friends with like minded people. I have been apart of this group for nearly 7 years. I’ve been asked to attend after almost five days of sobity, I am not sure if it’s the right time. There is no alcohol at the meeting nor on the drive, but I don’t get home until able 11:30pm( and I’m the driver. I dont want to be tempted and loose the last 5 days. I feel high stress just thinking about the meeting, knowing I’ve made an ass of myself and done some relationship damage with other members from saying dumb shit when I was drunk online with access to a phone or a computer. When is the right time to face the music and when should I draw the line? Thank you for any advice you all may have.
