One of the realities of living life in one day at a time recovery is the ability to join in with the joy in celebration. Another reality is that we can do so without participating in the consumption of anything that could alter our thinking thrusting us into an impaired reality. True celebration, for us, is the absolute avoidance of this. When we become part of a celebration (perhaps a wedding) in which we are guest, best wishes are part of this joyous occasion. If anyone so chooses to celebrate with intoxicants our reality is that we do not. It is as simple as that. If we are to make, or join into a toast, we do so with a non-alcoholic drink. This is of paramount importance and doing as such keeps the joy in the joy of celebration. Because of this we share in the happiness of the day. Peace.
