Should I feel guilty about not going sailing? [View all]
Here's the deal. My son-in-law's dad owns a sailboat and invited us out for a sail tomorrow night. There will only be six of us but I've told my wife I might pass. Two reasons: The whole Covid thing is my main excuse. He's been on several trips lately, and while he's a very cautious person, he has been on several planes. So I can say that's why I'm not going.
The real reason is the drinking. They don't get carried away, but in the past, I used to drink on the sail. Now that I've been sober for over a year and a half, I try to avoid some situations. It's not that I'll sneak a drink, but I just will feel a bit uncomfortable the whole time. My wife still drinks, and when we have my daughters over for dinner, everyone drinks. I'm okay with that. I've learned a lot from SMART meetings, which I attend regularly.
So I'm probably going to play the Covid card as my excuse for not going. Any thoughts?
