[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 514189, member: 13882"] I'm not sure what her counselor says, but I would certainly rely on their advice. I don't even think she should put herself in surroundings where people are drinking, even socially, right now, as it is too much of a temptation. As she becomes more situated in recovery, then I think she can socialize, but just have soda, etc. We have a close family member who is an alcoholic (in recovery for about 20 yrs. now) and he attends weddings, etc. and is fine, but for a long while he didn't socialize where alcohol would be served. In a business environment, it's almost expected, though. But first things first. Let her start the job, know the ropes, and take things one day at a time. She's made some very good decisions lately, you have to admit, and good decisions piled one atop the other will give her a strong foundation. Best of luck and success to her. [/QUOTE]
