7 Don t Drink Out of Cocktail/Wine/Champagne Glasses When attending a party where alcohol is present don t drink out of a wine glass. It might easily get mixed up with someone else s glass and an accidental drink could be taken. If the accidental drink happens, do not continue drinking. Call someone on the support list immediately and leave the situation where the drink happened. Do not take it too hard if an accidental drink happens, it can be chalked up to a learning experience. Also, remember that The Discovery House family is always here to ensure your recovery starts and stays strong. Connect with our alumni group today if you haven t already. Practice Your Sober Social Skills Sobriety will sometimes lead to anxiety but there is no reason not to anticipate an upcoming party for reasons other than drinking. A party is a perfect place to practice sober social skills and meet new people. A few things to bear in mind: - Come up with a list of topics to talk about at parties - Bring a sober friend or someone who will remain sober during the party - Leave early if feeling uncomfortable - Have plans after or a backup plan if one leaves early 0 6
