A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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.

Keep it. If it's expensive you can show it off.

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

Champagne tastes gross anyways. I am sure you wont be tempted by that nasty shit.

A lot of alcoholics don't care what they are drinking, they just need that drink.

Perfect for re-gifting. Next time you are required to give someone an expensive gift, palm off the Devil's fire-water on them and save your simoleans.

Sorry that your uncle doesn't seem to get it. Rise above! I actually know a few people that purposely try to sabotage their friends/family that quit drinking. Reason? They miss hanging out with their drink buddy!
