[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 496813, member: 59"] That's great RM, congratulations to him. My difficult child just had her 4 month anniversary. She use to make a big deal of her anniversaries but now keeps it very quiet. She has never made 6 monthss, came with a week once but relapsed. So now she said she is keeping it quiet so she doesn't add the pressure to herself. I think it varies on when, if ever, an alcoholic can be around alcohol. hey say the triggers last a long time. difficult child's counselor in rehab had been sober for over 20 years and she says she never goes anywhere where there is alcohol because it will trigger her to want to drink. She had to go to a nephew's wedding where they served alcohol and brought her sponsor and went to a meeting every day after until she was sure she was ok. I'm not sure if I would ever feel comfortable having alcohol around difficult child, but that's just me. She and a whole group of her AA friends go to a sports bar after thursday night AA meeting and they order wings and pop and sing karyoke. She says it doesn't bother her that people at other tables are drinking because their whole group does not and the servers all know that. I agree with you though, I will do anything I have to in order to help difficult child keep her sobriety, even if it means sneaking around myself. nancy [/QUOTE]
