Just Over 6 months here and have been on a few Social events. In fact I have found them to be really good, yes it is a major learning curve after you have been using alcoHELL like myself for the past 30 years and are devoid of any crutch to get you through.
The reality for me now is that a couple or three hours max is enough at these type of occasions whats said can be said, its only drink and people getting ********* that keep these events going longer.
I have found I am beginning to love the clarity and coolness of being sober, I will never ever have to worry about upsetting someone or saying something that i think is funny but in reality offensive.
Weddings I have found, where boring even when I was zombiefied, so sober I would not expect much differance.
Dancing sober, that's a different animal altogether LoL !
