On my fifth day not drinking and not confident I can stop for the whole summer or forever. In recovery currently and still debating what I’m going to do. I’m prescribed naltrexone but don’t take it. Only took it for a couple days when orignally prescribed it a few months ago. So yeah not sure if this alcohol abstinence is going to last all summer or forever


Assuming your family knows that you’re in recovery, it is acceptable to tell them that you’d prefer non-alcoholic restaurants in the future. Now, if Uncle Dave always loves going to the brewhouse for his birthday, don’t stand in the way of his birthday, just give him a call to say hi, and sit that one out.
