I live in a 1-bedroom. I have seating for 8 across the living room. Can I host a dinner party for 10-12 with a few people standing, or is that rude?

I wish I liked 12 people enough to invite them to dinner

Board games and long walks on the beach are quite the romantic proposition 😂

Okay, I might go for it. Hard to cut the guest list 🥲

I am doing 30-35 people in a 1 bed room, I do food buffet style and I have been doing it for the last 5 years.so you should be good.

Are there windowsills people can lean against, or is it possible for some folks to sit on the floor using the coffee table for their food? If expectations are set right and your friends are casual enough it’s totally fine. If your friends really care about everyone sitting around a table, just go to a restaurant for dinner and do drinks at your place before/after

Yes to both! I also have a large kitchen counter where people lean… and worst case, ppl can drink in the bedroom if they really feel constrained.

This is the largest gathering I’ve had since the pandemic … wish me luck ☺️

As long as its not a seated dinner table for 8 with the rest hovering, then you’ll be fine. See if you can fit in a few borrowed folding chairs or small ottoman.

Four years out of rehab today. Mostly sober since I “graduated”. Sometimes I want to act out and be caught, so I can be punished…because I don’t believe I was punished enough or suffered enough (divorce, losing a house, suicidal thoughts aren’t punishment enough apparently). In a meeting tonight a couple shares brought me right back to when I hit rock bottom, to the pain that I inflicted on others and myself. I need to remind myself every day that I am worthy of love and recovery.
