I've got a challenging evening coming up this Thursday [View all]
It's called "Gin & Jazz" and it's a fundraiser for the Detroit Sympony. I just hate these kinds of events where the booze will be flowing and I won't know anybody there. My wife loves to meet new people and she's perfectly comfortable in situations like this. I've been sober for 5 1/2 years and almost never think about booze and am never really tempted to drink. But I know I'll be looking at my watch the whole evening. And I won't feel comfortable until I'm in bed with a bowl of ice cream watching a good movie.
Wish me luck!
