Looking for strength today, I am going to a 50th birthday party with friends and I will stay sober but it will be difficult, any tips?

Focus on your conversations with each friend. Stay in the moment with it, and listen, try to find out how each one is doing. Ignore any other ideas in your head! You can do it!

Bring your own vehicle if you have to go and have an exit plan. No shame in leaving or not going if urges before are bad. Any real friend would understand.

Hi LeeAnn,
I attended a friends 60th a couple weeks ago. Huge party with bands, booze, kegs, that stinky tobacco everywhere. I brought a sober friend along and enjoyed food the bands and had fun until the intoxication level rose to the point I started getting uncomfortable. At that point my sober friend and I left the party and hit a meeting.
