Well done, derealbadger. It's great to see so many celebrating such positive anniversaries.

Well done therealbadger. Agree with hubba, its great to see

I survived the wedding but can't say that I felt comfortable I think this was because I stayed too long as everyone got progressively drunker. I went on my own with a friend and didn't really know anyone there except the bride so it was hard. Would not rule another wedding out but under different circumstances.

I've been to two weddings and I have to say I will be giving any future ones a wide berth. I think even when you are drinking, weddings can be quite a social challenge - all that small talk and waiting around, not to mention having to get dressed up! But not drinking - well, for me, it just becomes incredibly boring and I get really restless to leave. So I guess my message is for people not to beat themselves up over finding weddings a handful and if you feel at all vulnerable, give it a miss (or leave early if you are already there). To me, sobriety gets priority.

All downhill from here, but always be vigilant and never surrender what you have fought so hard to achieve. And keep in mind that a drink is only an arms length away. Congratulations and continue to enjoy your new life and freedom.
