Taking myself out of the "scene" is going to be hard, but I can't go out and not drink at this point, as sad as that seems. Also, there is no escape for me... I have 2 roommates both of which drink as well and people are often at our home on the weekends, swimming at our pool.

I believe one of my roommates (the one of which I spoke about) would support me, but I don't believe she would cut back on her own drinking as she'll see it as my problem and her not having one.

Where to go to get away? My parents drink, so that's a no-go... I'm clueless on how to even stop drinking for a month as pathetic as that sounds. But I am fully ready to take the plunge to sobriety for at least a month... it can't be THAT hard right? Or can it?
