I haven't regretted for one second, any of the social events that I missed for the several months when I took care of myself. It was the best thing I could have done.
I mainly stay in and take care of myself. However, my boyfriend and his brother/roommate drink so that's not always safe territory. Plus he'll invite me to something his friends are doing and they'll inevitably be drinking. I don't want to ask him not to drink for me, I don't think that's my decision (although I wish he wouldn't drink). I feel like it's not healthy to just stay home by myself even when my boyfriend is out with other couples... but then again drinking isn't healthy for me either.
