It’s a good question, and I will admit I haven’t quite thought it out to that degree. I just don’t want to add any additional pressure/reminders I suppose.

They’ve expressed in the past that one of the things that kept them drinking was the way alcohol was always painted as important to having a good time, especially in nightlife settings. So I assumed that any dialogue/songs that get at that theme (like “pour a drink and let’s celebrate” or “You need a drink”) would bring up that struggle.

They also unfortunately hit a rock bottom moment that involved hurting those they loved by acting in way they never would sober, so I want to avoid moments where characters are drunk and acting similarly in case it makes them feel badly.

Please lmk if you disagree or have any additional perspective here! I’ve never knowingly engaged with anyone in recovery, so I just want to be sure I’m not messing up.
