I guess the problem is the events are focused around drinking. Like the roof top party. I'm still new in my recovery ...and recently after 5 1/2 months I had a slip and drank one night, so technically back at 2 days. Plus I'm still in the phase of having strong cravings and very uncomfortable around people who are drinking. Lately, I'm just putting on a face pretending I'm ok to be around drinkers but its really effecting my soberity. I just don't know how to be friends with my friends anymore because the events focus all around drinking. I don't want to lose them because we do share a bond that's unrelated to drinking but every time we do get together its at a bar.

I think more so I'm very frustrated and confused which lifestyle is better for me. I was unhappy drinking, but I'm equally if not more so unhappy sober. Does this eventually pass?
