I can speak only from personal experience but as someone who is still early in recovery, I find it very difficult to be around people drinking. Even the smell of alcohol is triggering for me. I have put off trips to visit relatives because I do not yet think that I can handle being around them drinking, and I don't want to impose not drinking around them.

Perhaps your girlfriend is further along the road to recovery than I am, and really isn't bothered by alcohol being consumed in front of her.

But overall I'm with Lenny, yes it is a risk, you never know when you're going to give into that insidious little voice that says it's ok to have just one.

I'm glad to see you care so much for your girlfriend.
