Someone, maybe just give it a try, since they are so close. If you feel upset about going back to drinking after you decided not to, there might be a comfort in sitting with people who understand how that feels, in person. You could also plan on giving yourself a treat of some kind as a reward for trying it. Sometimes it works to use that method when not going to meetings too. It doesn't work for everyone, but I have talked about that with people here, some of whom do not go to meetings and only use this site for encouragement along the way.
