I'm going out to visit my brother in Calgary Easter weekend. It'll be my first time seeing him in at least 3 years (can't really remember when I was last out there).

This will be my first time visiting him while sober and I'm nervous. Both he and his wife drink daily although I wouldn't classify either of them as having an alcohol problem - they just enjoy a glass of wine with dinner.

The thing is, I'm still feeling really fragile after my last relapse and know it will be hard to be around alcohol. I'm thinking of asking my brother if he and his wife could not drink it, in front of me.

Part of me thinks this is my problem and it's up to me to cope with the situation and not impose my problem on them. But I'm really worried about feeling deprived and tempted to drink if I see them doing it.

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks.
