Way to go!! It will get easier for you to say "NO" the more you make that decision. You may even find that you become less concerned about how other people react! When we start doing something that is new to us, it is also new for other people. They may feel that something has changed and the're unsure how to handle it. Don't sweat it! They will adjust to what you are doing all on their own. Try not to look at difficult situations as tests. Please try to view them as opportunities to practice your daily decision to not drink. i strongly encourage you to attend some meetings, ask someone to sponsor you, and take it from there. Keep it simple & keep coming back!!
