Today, my uncle gave me a very expensive bottle of champagne at a celebratory family event. We were celebrating me spending 1 year sober. FML

Well it can serve as a great reminder to keep going with your sobriety.

If you've been sober that long I'm sure you can stay strong and resist it. Did your uncle even know what the celebration was for though? That's pretty inconsiderate.

#15 even if it was a test it doesn't make it right for him to bring alcohol to an alcoholic especially when it's his niece that just makes her uncle an inconsiderate douche.

#74 just because that happened with your family does not mean it will happen with OP. Everyone has different levels of strength and weaknesses. You don't know if OP caved in and drank that champagne for certain. To assume she did because of your experience within your own family is stupid.

I know how you feel! When I got to my 6 months of being sober my whole family got drunk to celebrate. Just got to walk to that sink and pour it away, congrats on being sober though, hardest thing of my life.

Happy birthday 1 year that is a big accomplishment! You know you are strong and who ever did that is an idiot but you can forgive him now with the tools you have one day at a time, right! Again congratulations the first year is the hardest!

Destroy the bottle as a mark of your sobriety and strength, not a bad symbolic gesture if you ask me.

He probably thinks that recovery means you have learned to handle your drinking. He may not understand that for many many people, it means never drinking again for fear of slipping into old habits.

I think that your uncle was probably testing you however he crossed a huge line and it is very unacceptable, my sister is a recovering alcoholic and I know how hard it had probably be bit com regulation congratulations for staying sober for a year it's definitely something to celebrate, I'm proud of you keep up the hard work..

what's the matter with all you people encouraging the OP to take a drink, do you not realize they quit drinking, suggesting they are a recovering alcoholic? idiots..
