Hi TJ...wow., alot of great advice here.
As I am still newly sober once more (4 months)...I have made a decision to put my sobriety first, above everything. If I am going to be in a situation that will tempt me to drink, I have two options.
1. Do everything I can to be sure that mentally,spiritually, and physically I won't give into the temptation to drink.
2. If there is even a shadow of doubt that I may be tempted to drink, I bow out of the situation...no matter what.
For me it is putting first things first...I must remain sober.
Peace.
