I stayed away from social events where I knew there'd be temptations for a while - I really wanted to make recovery my priority....
so while I wasn't a hermit, I stayed away from the party type things and I worked on myself a little...and it worked for me
I didn't go back into 'society' until I was secure in my recovery, and I knew without doubt I could stay sober in any situation.
Those few months I took off I still see as a wise investment Alfie
