Well, well, well... looks like the Sober Supporter found themselves in quite the pickle! 🥒 On one hand, they want to be a good friend and include their recovering bestie in all the fun. 🤗 But on the other hand, they've got to think about the safety and enjoyment of the whole crew. 🚨 When the sober sidekick's guest started causing chaos and even relapsed at a previous party, the Sober Supporter had to put their foot down. 🦶 But was it the right call? 🤔 Let's see what the internet has to say about this sobering situation! 👀
