You all know what i'm thinking I'm sure


Is there any hope? :l

I'm dreading it, and no, i'm not the groom! :H

Yes, there is hope. A wedding is not a must for drinking. The toasts are easy with water and re-acquainting yourself with old friends is a great distraction. PLUS, you will soberly observe how others behave "for the sake of a wedding".

Weddings are a huge trigger, but stay strong and hold your head up high. You will be great.

The first wedding I went to sober was tough, I've gotta admit. What was THE best, was the next day not worrying about what a fool I'd made of myself and feeling fit and well.

I'm sending you spesh vibes to get you through!!!

When you get to the reception, disappear somewhere for an hour, slip out for a walk, go for a drive( plan it look for a cool place to go)

By the time you get back the drunk will be getting there and the others will be warmed up. Put your nonAL drink in a similar glass.They won't even notice you are not drinking ..... I promise.

Have a great time. Being sober at events like this is amazing. You might even get some sober action, if you know what I mean! Hehehehehe

Yes there is hope, let everyone else poison themselves. They are conditioned and brainwashed they need alcoHELL at such events.

Let the fear go, enjoy it watch other people its a real eye opener. I can guarantee you once there you will be ok, if you dont drink. Even bigger guarantee you will feel utterly depressed and morose the next morning if you do drink and an even bigger guarantee you will feel fantastic next morning if you wake up sober. easy choice surely.

Sober is rebellious , sober is cool.

I went to a wedding in Scotland in august, I know how difficult it is. I felt great the next day, and it was interesting watching other people intent on getting drunk. I was with my husband so he was aware and doesn't drink much so that made me feel a little more confident. I would suggest that you don't take much money with you and forget your cards. It's surprising how little notice people take of what you are drinking, for the toast I had lemonade, if anyone does ask say your on antibiotics. Have a good time, it's so much easier than we expect.

Funnily enough it's 3 years ago this weekend that I went to a wedding AF. ( I really must get them a card.)
I was about 12 weeks AF and dreading it. Not because I wanted to drink I just didn't want to be surrounded by a bunch of hyperactive drunks.
And it was out in the country which meant a long trip on a private bus out with sober people and an even longer trip back with a bunch of drunks. I couldn't even leave early as the bus had been booked.

Well apart from when the first round was bought and the bugger forgot the only soft drink in the round ............mine once the food got under way I was grand.

At the end of the day I'm so pleased I went as I saw a little girl I had watched grow up turn into a beautiful bride.

Oh and enjoy watching the 'Dad' dancing.

Just think, you can wake up the next day and not have the guilty feeling of "Oh crap, what did I do"!!! That is what I most look forward to with my first AF function in two weeks!

Thanks everyone, isnt it strange how we get no invites to such things until we are drying out and doing so well?

Just don't go then. Unless it's your best mate or a family member, no one will notice.
