Glad to hear the event went well...!!

If you get through this first event, you will feel more empowered. I am 9 days out. My first very scary outing was the movies. I LOVE the movies, and always, always get popcorn and a diet drink. The worst part was smelling the popcorn as I walked into the theater. I put my decaf tea in a water bottle. Once I sat down and the movie started, I was fine. We went with two other couples, who went to eat first, so didn't get popcorn (thank God). So I put my husband (with his popcorn) down the row with one of our friends. Lol. I did what I had to do to get through the first movie. But after it was over, I was proud of myself and now feel that it won't be so bad in the future. You can do it!! I know it will be tough, with the food and all. Do what you have to do to get through this first event.
