Almost 5 years sober and there are still things I don't do
Actually there a lot of events I don't participate in. Especially parties where I don't know many people. My wife loves those sort of things.
The other night some friends invited us out on their boat. I told my wife I didn't want to geo (Boats=Drinking).I think she was a little pissed about it. She actually said something to the effect of "So when are you going to be okay doing stuff like that?" My somewhat childish response was, "Look, you're the one who decided I needed to quit drinking, so you need to get used to doing some of these things by yourself." She's usually pretty understanding about these things.
Okay, enough of my bitching.

Now I'm back 'out' and wish I'd put my foot down a tad more often in that sort of regard. She often guilted me into going with her to situation I knew were going to be hard for me and one of the TOP ONES ... was parties where it was mostly people I didn't know.
In fact one of those that I HAD to go to with her was what broke a 3 year stint. I mean, it was the cliffs of La Jolla at like a $10M mansion overlooking the ocean that had it's own freaking arboretum on the grounds, so I did want to go, but felt I really shouldn't to protect my sobriety. She was not understanding.
Funnily enough, she's now in AA and over 1 year sober, and I've barely drawn a sober breath in 2.5 years.
Stick to your guns my friend, that's all I can say. Stick to your guns, and keep on keeping on!
Then again, looking back ... this pic is just moments before I messed up. How was I supposed tell my wife, no, you go alone to the La Jolla Cliffside Wedding, I can't handle it and if your pissed off, then sorry? I WANTED to go, and stay sober. But I failed. And it was a couple years before I was sober again.
True words right there
