Welcome and congrats Tristy!
There are things tha you can do that don't involve booze, you just have to look for them...I'm going to a lecture at the local museum tomorrow night. This isntto scare you...for me it's a positive step as I was one of those reclusive drinkers...at the end, when I drank I had no social life...it would interfere with the drinking. So going to a lecture is actually pretty exciting for me...lol
