Thank you for your post. I am reminded of when I first started and how anxious I was to even go out of the house.. just take those baby steps, and pray. Once you begin meeting others in AA, reach out...you'll be amazed at how many people in the rooms will help you...Maybe you could even have one of them go with you to those drinking events you mentioned... just take it easy, and let the process happen - it does work, believe me.
