[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 88851, member: 2315"] Karen, I am sure he was nervous. He said he cannot wait to go to the party next weekend so I am not going to suggest he doesn't. We have a family wedding to attend in November. It is my sister's son and she really wants difficult child to go. husband and I discussed it and we think it is to soon so we haven't told difficult child about it. It is out of state and we would have to pay for his trip and hotel which is expensive. In addition my easy child 2 is comming and he and difficult child do not get along. The last time we traveled to a family event with the two of them it was a disaster with them getting into a fist fight at the Space Center. A stranger had to help husband seperate them. Of course difficult child was drgging back then but husband says he isn't willing to take a chance at a repeat. He was in tears when he got back to the hotel the last time and I will not try to change his mind this time. There will be other family gatherings in the future and then we will know how well difficult child is doing and whether or not he can resist the temptation to drink when surrounded by it. Next weekend will be a more controlled environment than the wedding will be. My daughter will keep the beer in a very conspicuous place that difficult child will not be able to sneak any from. There will also be a recovered alcholic from my daughter's inlaw family there for difficult child to talk to if he should need to. so I think it will be OK. Son n law asked me if he should not serve the beer at all and I left it up to him. He may still decide not to but I thin it will be Ok eitheer way. But the wedding I think is too much temptation for someone so recently into trying to recover. -RM [/QUOTE]
