Hi Chris. This can be tough in early sobriety. Frankly, I find that going to parties that center around drinking to be pretty boring, so I don't go to them. If you don't have any sober friends, perhaps you should find some. I don't use AA, but that might be a good place to look for people that are experiencing what you are. You might just find a few that you could hang with. There isn't anything wrong with keeping your current friends, but if you do, I would certainly not go with them to bars or parties. Drunk people aren't much fun to be around when you are sober.
