I'm almost a month sober. Used to think I wasn't an alcoholic, because I didn't drink every day like someone I know very well. He drinks nearly 24/7. So I said well I drink every other day but don't get plastered. But I came to terms about a month ago looking in the mirror one night and realized yes I am. So I stopped.

So here I am a few days away from something that has been one heck of a journey a freaking month journey after drinking my entire adult life.

My husband still drinks and he has every right to not my place to say not to say no. He was just asked to go to the poolhall and watch his buddies in a tournament and drink with them. Asked me if I wanted to go, essentially to be DD. He won't go without me and wants to go so do his buddies.

I don't trust myself yet in a public place with basically free alcohol as they said they'd buy, and said that to him. Plus I quit smoking as well and that's still a huge temptation and with everyone there smoking two temptations would break me.

He seemed disappointed and didn't say anything. And is texting his friend now.

I know one on one with him drinking I can say no easily, I don't like vodka at all. And he doesn't go out much, has been working, me quitting shouldn't limit him. Should I just suck it up and try to beat it? I mean I'll eventually be in this situation one day?
