Being a recovering alcoholic for just 13 months, I will do the same this year as I did last. I will call ahead of time and ask if they will be serving any alcohol. If they are, I respectfully decline, letting them know that I am not ready to put myself that close to temptation yet. It is called self preservation...my sobriety comes first. I'm sure that if I start drinking again, it won't be long before I die.

I'm sure that if I start drinking again, it won't be long before I die. Ive heard a lot of people say that.
I must be really weird. I dont know if I was (am?) an alcoholic. I drank heavy for 25 years though. Literally would burn through a 12 pack of beer before lunch but after work was when the drinking really started. Id go through one of those 1.75 liter bottles of Seagrams in two days.
Did that day in and day out for decades. Then one day I was doing something and realized I hadnt drunk anything in three or four days. Havent touched any since.
It isnt anything I consciously tried to do
just sort-of got bored with it or forgot or something. Sometimes its nice being sorta dopey.

I'm sure that if I start drinking again, it won't be long before I die. ....you know that's the same way I felt. Even still, it took me awhile to quit. I feel my body & mind repairing it's self more and more each day! THANK YOU GOD!
