Evening Out Without

She returned home from a dinner party exhausted and a bit sad that she could no longer “partake” the same way as the old days. Her joyous medications did not mix with alcohol so she had given it up completely. Probably best as alcohol didn’t mix well with her, period. She found herself watching as bottle after bottle of wine was opened and consumed by happy party guests and fun was had by all. (well, most) She was the only one who did not get up and dance.
She wondered how these same guests would be if they too were forced to have a sober evening. Would they be having as much fun? Would they still be up and dancing? Was it just the mix of company that made the party what it was or was it the alcohol easing it along?
She enjoyed the food and some conversation and silently wished to herself that she could be someone else for a night, but she knew the closest she would come to a drink was her rum flavored lip gloss. It was for the best, for many reasons, and she knew that.
She got home and took her first nightly dose of medication, one of the medications that helped with the pain and headaches. She supposed it was worth it. . .
