Just to let those of you who so kindly responded to my desperation cry know, I successfully got through Grad Celebrations.  It was a huge success and although there was some drama, it was sort of a close call as I found my self looking to drink because, I was happy, I was disappointed, I was jealous, I was overwhelmed, I was proud, I was sentimental, I was alone.... it was all so interesting to feel the different emotions and how I wanted to drink to .... step 4  "... to quiet those emotions".  I was incredibly grateful to wake up Monday morning feeling sober and ready to face reality.  The thought that ran through my head was, " that drink of wine will take you to a dark, lonely place and is just not worth it".
