[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 514351, member: 2315"] Honestly in my humble opinion she shouldn't be going out to bars at this point in her recovery. But if going to dinner where some might order a drink she could just say "nah, I don't want one thanks". If she must go to bars andl if she doesn't mind fibbing a little she coud drink coke with a lime and pass it off as a rum and coke? Or she could volunteer as the diesignated driver (many bars give you your soda for free if you do) or maybe say she has to drive and has signed a contract to never drink and drive? Or maybe just say she has a medical condition that prevents her from processing the alcohol properly? Hopefully she will just not go to the bars and parties at all. Really at 26 years of age that scene should be winding down anyway. As a mom of a substance abuser in recovery and another one who never quite got there, I do know the worry. I too am guilty of it but we must learn to just give them the power to own their adictions recovery and find their own solutions. Yes easier said than done. [/QUOTE]
