Socializing Sober

So we're having our first guests over since RAH got sober. RAH has a friend at work whose wife is 3 years sober, and he really wants to get to know them.

On the one hand I am thrilled that we are going to socialize with some people without the presence of alcohol. As it turns out, the majority of my old friends jumped ship when they found out what was going on with me and RAH, so I've been really lonely. For the first time in two years, we're having adult guests that aren't family over to our house.

On the other hand, I'm extremely nervous about this. What if this is the only thing we have in common? Also, what do sober people DO at get-togethers? It would be nice to have an activity to fall back on if things get awkward or weird.

Also, please tell me we will discuss something other than alcohol. I'm so sick of talking about nothing but alcohol and alcoholism.
