This will seem like the craziest occasion for getting drunk, but my mom friends and I go out once/month to this place where we prepare meals to take home and freeze. If you've heard of Entrees to Go, My Girlfriend's Kitchen, Super Suppers, etc., it is a place like that. And, we bring wine to share and they also serve sangria and appetizers. Well, somehow its turned into more of a drunk-fest than even our monthly Mom's Night Out. We often go wine tasting before and also go out afterwards. Well, two months ago I drove home blacked out drunk from this night out and told myself that I had to get control of things and never drive drunk again. And, if I drove drunk again, I vowed to myself that I would go to my doctor to get help for my drinking. Well, so last month I went out to this thing and once again drove home blacked out drunk (as in, don't remember driving home or getting into bed). The day after, I found this site. And, the Monday after I made an appointment w/my doctor. And, the Friday after I started on Naltrexone and the whole MWO program.
OK, so now it that time of month again. I have had three nights out moderating well already, but am still kinda nervous about tonight. It doesn't really make sense because I've been out on other Mom's Nights Out already since being on program and did great (had fun and did not drink too much at all), but I guess this just feels different because this is the occasion that in the past I have gotten the most drunk at and regretted my choices the most.
Anyway, so my plan is to not drink more than two glasses of wine while we are making the dinners and not more than one glass when we go out afterwards (and to drink lots and lots of water in between). Originally, I was planning to skip the 'after-party', but one of the ladies asked me specifically to go so we could discuss an event she is planning.
Why does this feel like such a major test??? Wish me luck!!!
