Today is a major challenge for me. Anyone else?

I always have a plan B and stick close to people who don’t drink. I have to be comfortable setting clear boundaries that if my serenity or sobriety is at risk I’m ok with saying… yep
Time to go!
Happy thanksgiving

I’m hosting at my house with about 20 guests. So leaving is not an option

Leaving is an option, if just briefly. Go make a call, get some fresh air.

It’s new. I have not celebrated a major family holiday sober until today.

You got this….

I did. I took the dog out for a walk and it was great to get out of the house even for just a few minutes. Thanks for the suggestion. It made a difference.
