I often found I'd make it through something sober where others where drinking, then go home and drink myself.
Sometimes it was like I felt I needed a reward for being good, sometimes I was just plain envious of other drinkers, and sometimes I just couldn't stand not drinking any longer.
It took me 20 years to get to a point where I accepted that alcohol and I had a toxic relationship - I was never and could never be a normal drinker, and I could not drink under any circumstances if I wanted the kind of life I wanted to lead.
I think it's a big ask to be around other drinkes too soon - especially at things like football games.
I took myself out of social circulation until I was 100% to being sober no matter what the situation or the the pressures on me.
Those few months I took 'off' have really been a great investment for my recovery
