Hi B4Ifall
being sociable sober is a skill like anything else. You learn to listen to people again, ask them questions about themselves...they ask you some back...pretty soon conversation flows.
If you're worried about what to say when someone offers you a drink? say no thanks.
Have a sparkling water or a Coke instead
It seems like an enormous thing to us, cos drinking was so so important to us - but most people simply don't care what we drink, or not
