[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a recovering alcoholic but don’t advertise it. Wine is a perfectly normal/fine gift. I will serve it/provide wine and beer at parties. I don’t drink but I don’t expect others to stop (including my husband). It’s fine, I don’t need or want a fuss made about it.[/quote] You know, it's okay to say "this isn't good for me, let's not". I'm recovered enough that I can buy/serve/gift wine, too... until I'm not. Slippery slope, and nobody who cares about your sobriety would expect this of you. You say you "don't advertise it", which is an interesting way of saying you're closeted. I didn't tell people when I first got sober because I was worried I'd relapse and disappoint them. Guess what I did? Gentle nudge to continue unpacking that shame. Maybe redo your 4th and review your process for your 10th? Sometimes we owe amends to ourselves...[/quote]
