[QUOTE="KFld, post: 88736, member: 2442"] That is wonderful. I'm so glad it all went well. If the worst thing that happened was moldy rolls, then I'd say don't cry over moldy rolls [img]:smile:[/img] Just make sure you don't spend the entire party babysitting him and watching that he doesn't drink. This is his battle to fight and you have learned you cannot do it for him. I know he really wants to go to the party, but you could also suggest that if he thinks it's going to be to much for him, it would be o.k. for him not to go and celebrate her birthday with her at a different location at a different time. Or maybe even better, suggest he discuss his anxiety about beer being at the party with his sponsor, which if he's serious about his recovery, you won't have to tell him that, he'll have already done it. I know how scarey it is in the beginning. My difficult child is now over one year clean and it's just been recently that I know he has changed his life and I don't have that worry in the back of my head everyday. Everybody used to always tell me that I would know when he was ready to stay clean and now I know what they meant. Hope that day comes for all of you also. Glad the family embraced him and his heart felt it. I'm sure he was very nervous. [/QUOTE]
