A challenging event over the weekend... [View all]

Celebrated Greek Easter a week late at my B-I-L's house. Big family gathering. It was okay for a couple hours, but we ended up staying over 6 hours. I was one of the only adults not drinking. I like to joke that my wife isn't happy unless we're the last ones to leave. The last two hours were almost intolerable. The adults were pretty well behaved, but the younger ones were on a mission to get hammered. Thank god that's over!

I've been clean for around 4 1/2 years. I rarely think about drinking. But once in a while, I have a tough time hanging out with drinkers. But I made it through this event okay.
