Jadeplay,
I also have an invite out this evening. It’s not business related so I opted out. I do end up in situations where I’m asked to attend client functions so I know it’s hard. I’m just beginning this change and my personal plan is to learn the tools to be able to successfully elude my triggers. Hopefully once I can do this I’ll be able to reintroduce myself into situations where the temptation is and I’ll be able to cope with the situation and not have that glass of wine. That’s my strategy in a nut shell. Thought I’d share.
Maybe make this week’s goal to get through tonight without a glass of wine? Whatever you decide to do, good luck!
Fortunately it is a busy week, but I will continue to work out and I will continue to seek out conversations with friends and family. I have to admit having difficulty in having conversations without alcohol so this is another obstacle I am trying to overcome.
