Hi DoinThis. Great that you're here with us & asking for advice.

For me, early on things were quite shaky - emotions were raw. I didn't dare put myself in a tempting situation for a few months. This is such a personal thing - only you know how much danger you'll be in by going. My first time in a social situation where there was alcohol was 3 mos. after I quit. I had no intention of drinking, but I wasn't happy about it back then - and didn't have a good time at all. Too resentful and sorry for myself. That all improved over time, though - now I'm so thankful I won't wake up with a hangover wondering, 'What happened last night?!"

Congratulations on your 23 days! Let us know what you decide & how you're doing.
