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.

One tiny drink wont hurt.

Some advice OP, as someone who has been sober for three years. Establish some new hobbies, find something that you're passionate about and focus your energy on that. Not sure about you, but shortly after quitting alcohol, I took up juicing fruits and vegetables, started exercising (running in particular), drank a lot more water and herbal tea's alongside spending a lot more time with my dog. I understand that what works for me may not work for you, I just think that it's worth some consideration. Hope you're doing well OP.

Well, if anything is worth opening a bottle of champagne for, I can't think of anything more fitting! Congratulations!🥂
