Not sure if my opinion matters here (only being on day 3) but I really would sit it out. I once quit for a bit over 30 days, thought I was good to go, went to a party at my sisters and everyone's drinking so after an hour of me explaining to friends and family that I quit and hearing oh you can have just one I believed them and had that one that turned into 2 more years of binge drinking. Better safe then sorry

I think your opinion is probably more relevant than anyone else's, Quitter, being sober 3 days make the drinking more memorable. Good luck whatever you decide Scottish.

If you don't feel strong enough, don't go (unless its a close family member or close friend). If you want to go, get the na drinks set before you go and stick to them. Say no and use any excuse that you feel that you need to use to not drink.

Hi Scottie,

Can you leave the reception early? I would have an 'exit' plan for such occassions. An important part of that plan for me is to have my own transport home, so i can leave early if i'm getting too anxious.
The other option might be not to go. If you really want to go though, can you arrange to leave early? This way you've still turned up and made the effort, and shared a bit of history. BUT, if you are feeling unsure and unsafe, then don't go.

Best wishes mate. G.

Go, and be a shining example to the "newly beloveds" (I think I just made a new word) on how to conduct the start of their time together............sober..........and happy


Good luck, it will probably be tough, but will make the victory that much sweeter when you walk away the winner. If it was easy EVERYBODY would be doin it

The advice to disappear for the first hour is good. Once you eat the big temptation is gone I find.

I went to a wedding recently of a close relative. I had to go. As the night went on, I felt prouder, not more anxious. For once, I didnt cringe when the photos were posted on Facebook. I had a really nice time at that wedding. I visited with some older relatives. You do what works for you.

I went, actually went to the bar a few times for pals, i drank red bulls and soft drinks, im totally wired but still sober! it was a great moment for me, i felt the vibes and the "oh go on, have a few" feeling but I didnt give in, and you know what? I danced better than most of the drunks there ha ha

thanks for all your kind support xx
