Personally, I would have avoided outings like that when I was first trying to get and stay sober. I mean, life is going to hand us much more tempting situations than that, I have to protect my sobriety with everything in me. Until you really take drinking off the table as an option, this back and forth is just going to be miserable for you. I know you're not interested, but I'm compelled to suggest some type of recovery work (counseling, meetings, anything) when you decide to quit for good.
