Almost 5 years sober and there are still things I don't do [View all]

Actually there a lot of events I don't participate in. Especially parties where I don't know many people. My wife loves those sort of things.

The other night some friends invited us out on their boat. I told my wife I didn't want to geo (Boats=Drinking).I think she was a little pissed about it. She actually said something to the effect of "So when are you going to be okay doing stuff like that?" My somewhat childish response was, "Look, you're the one who decided I needed to quit drinking, so you need to get used to doing some of these things by yourself." She's usually pretty understanding about these things.
Okay, enough of my bitching.
