Public Humiliation

So, urges may not be the place to post this but, it really doesn't belong in success stories either. So, here goes....I'd like your thoughts on what happened to me yesterday.  Went with my family to eat. The place we went to eat offers a courtesy wine sample before you order so you can taste their "wine of the day".  I had gone to the restroom and the rest of my family was seated.  I had told my husband to order me an iced tea, please. When I arrived at the table, the server was gone and my children were arguing with my husband and my son said " Why would you do that? It's just stupid. Why do you want to even put her in that position? So she can screw up again? She doesn't need it....she isn't going to drink." My daughter chimed in with a similar feeling.  I said, what's going on? I had no idea...my husband had asked the server for a wine sample for me and himself.  NOW---I do moderate very rarely. I don't as a rule drink out to dinner with my kids.  They hate it---as they should---so it's a respect thing.  There was an argument between him and the kids. I was humiliated. I got loud, told them to stop and my husband said--"you're edgy because we are talking about you not getting to have a drink and you can't take it" and was like----what the hell? Drinking wasn't on my mind it wasn't on my radar....I don't think I'll ever live it down.  It's discouraging---it's been long since I've had a binge, I don't deserve it. My husband says he didn't mean it like that...but yes he did.  I hate public humiliation...
