How did you get on? I decided to avoid meeting in the pub in the end. Far too much temptation. I do have a bbq to go to this Easter weekend. I already set the scene with my friends and simply said 'I've given up drinking' simple as that really. No need to explain in more detail and I found they didn't ask 'why?' either. Maybe they prefer me sober after all! :-)
2 weeks and 1 day sober and very happy!
