Hi Everyone: I'm back from my grandson's b-day party. I had a wonderful time. I find that if I walk into a party w/a bottle of AF beverage, it's much easier to watch others pour their drinks. Once I get past the initial hellos & what'll-you-have-to-drink stage, I'm fine. I was able to participate in activities, enjoy food, & have meaningful conversations w/folks I haven't seen for a while. It was great.
We left when the second half of the party was just getting started. The second half is the part of the party where the drinking gets cranked up. I really don't need to be talking to a person who isn't making much sense.
This is the 4th or 5th party I've gone to this summer in which others were drinking (not everyone), but I've stayed sober. I'm getting used to it. Thank you all so much for helping to make that possible. Mary
