House guests

14 years sober. Just disinvited potential house guests after realizing we might go out for dinner and they might drink and come back to my house having drank. They already know I don’t allow alcohol in my house. But now, I realize I don’t want the people in my house that might be drinking. Staying true to myself. Why does this shit take so long, and why is it so hard?! Reevaluating everything this morning.

    Is this posted to be critical of OP? I thought they were being reasonable, maintaining sobriety is very hard and being around drunk people is a classic trigger for relapse. Is this community just about criticizing other people?

    Edit I now see you are the op of the other thread. Are you the crazy town? I don’t get this community at all.

      Actually living as an adultchild can feel like crazy town. That is what I am saying. If it was or is not still for you a bit crazy from growing up in a disfunctional or alcoholic home, you are the better.
