I sat through the rest of the gift exchange angry. I was very resentful early in my sobriety that alcohol was all around me and got angry whenever I felt it was shoved in my face. And this gift exchange fueled that anger. After we were done and we were all walking out to the parking lot to put our gifts away, my one co-worker that knew I was sober looked over at me and said, hey, do you want to throw that in my car and we could go grab some lunch? During the course of lunch, we begin to laugh about the situation.
