I have had to completely hunker down recently. I have decided not to go to some classes that are serving wine; I love art classes but a lot of adult ones serve wine. I have had to forgo going to a few weddings. I have said no to movie invites because the one I frequent is one that serves alcohol. It feels a little lonely but I know that my body cannot take about relapse so I have to do what it right for me. Again, we are all fragile for some time when we quit. We are fighting a disease with alcoholism. No one expects a cancer patient to be out and about 24 hours a day; neither can we. I have began cooking really great meals, took up painting and knitting. Things that I can learn online and do at home for awhile, that doesn't include alcohol in the least bit. Good luck.
