Some good advice so far, this stuck out to me & bears repeating:

I'm upset that I'm going to disappoint them
In the long run you are the only one that looks at yourself in the mirro in the morning not them, some how I doubt very seriously if they are going to be dissapointed by you not drinking unless of course you are thier entertainment when you drink.

If you do think of taking a drink ask your self this question:

"Have I ever woke up in the morning sober and had a regret or worry about not getting drunk the night before?"

BTW I avoided any thing that may have tempted me to have a drink in early sobriety, however once I was more then half way through the steps the obsession to drink was lifted from me, I go any place I wish to go today as long as I am spiritually fit at the time I have no fear of taking that first drink, I can honestly not think of one single benefit a drink would give me today that would out weigh the joys I have found staying sober.
