Then you don't go! Simple as that. I don't know how far in the future you are talking about, but in the near future, as you focus on your recovery, you may have to take a hiatus from social activities that could trigger drinking. Later on you might not be so stressed and will feel comfortable ordering an ice tea or whatever. Or maybe these are activities you may never resume. That's your call. But you don't change your life without making some changes in it. Good luck.
