Hey man, this is a very good topic and one which I think people need more advice/feedback on, especially at AA where no-one seems to want to acknowledge the subject. I think it is especially prominent topic being from the UK as pub/club culture is so prominent and being "bang-on-it" whilst out in a pub/club is such a time consuming activity in itself. So it may feel like you are "twiddling your thumbs" to a certain degree.
I am currently 17 days sober but am dead-set that I ain't drinking again "one day at a time" but I am 23 so obviously I wan't to be able to start going out socialising/pulling again and obviously there will be booze around. I am staying away at the moment as I want to get more grounded in my sobriety but obviously I will need to socialise eventually and so will have to face it.
One thing is for sure though, whatever happens, i ain't drinking that first drink.
