Alfie I'm in same boat as you, I quit a month ago, and today been asked to go to the pub beer garden tomorrow as the weather is gorgeous! i feel quite secure at the moment with not drinking but worried I'll be so bored while everyone is drinking! I haven't made my mind up yet, but I suggest if you think going to social things will be too tough then don't go for now. But its not forever there will be a point when you think 'yes I can deal with this!' I am at that point I'm just worried of the boredom, I haven't been in this situation yet. Maybe I will take my dog with me and if I get bored I'll just wander off with my dog! Hehe. Whatever you decide to do alfie stay strong, you're doing great! X
If you don't want to talk about why you giving up and someone does comment on you not drinking you could always say you're watching your weight? I said I had a kidney infection, and low and behold I ended up with one!!! So don't say that lol. Good luck
