Ideas to keep people on track.
Boom ! 
      
    I have to attend a corporate holiday party next Saturday night and the booze will be flowing heavily.  I normally don’t drink much (maybe 4 times a year) but I will have one that evening.  I am prepared.   I will have vodka, sparkling water, and am bringing a Mio flavor enhancer in my purse.

There is a story in the A.A. literature about a women, new in sobriety, who was required to organize a cocktail party for her company. She obsessed about how to handle the event without losing her sobriety, and it came to her: For the first half of the event, when she was offered a drink she replied, “Oh, not just yet, thanks;” and for the second half, “Oh, no more, thanks.” No one even noticed that she never touched a drop.
