The title kind of says it. I’m (32m) just over a month sober because I don’t want to lose my family. I feel extremely committed to it this time. I’ve been in and out of AA for the last 16 years, and I really want it to work this time because I actually have something I would lose that I don’t want to lose. My wife’s (38f) friends are all not sober and their events generally center around drinking. Like if it’s a game we’re watching or something we’re eating at someone’s place, everyone is drinking with at least 2 or 3 drinking heavily. One of her friends binge drinks, which my wife has come out and said herself. And that makes me very uncomfortable because I’m so new in sobriety. I don’t want my wife to feel isolated but I also don’t want to feel uncomfortable or risk my sobriety by going to these events. She doesn’t want to go without me which I understand, but I’m not sure what to do or how to handle this situation. I need to know if I’m being an asshole by not wanting to attend and I want to know what I should do.
