I can only give you my experience on this. I avoided social gatherings in the early weeks as I knew I would not be able to abstain.Examine your motives for going and ask yourself do you really think you'll be able to enjoy the evening not drinking when everyone around you is drinking?
I quit twice last year and relapsed both times at 6 weeks, both at social gatherings, I was adamant I would not drink,went out and wham,it hit me from nowhere ,I couldn't handle it so drank.
This time round I realized it's not just a case of stopping drinking,it's a lifestyle change too,for me at least.
I'm now 9 months, I can go tosocial gatherings where others are drinking. It doesn't bother me or make me want todrink. I do find it pretty uninteresting though and would rather be round sober folks doing sober things
imo, and it is only my opinion of course
is that going to drinking events at 2 weeks sober is asking for trouble
