I know what you mean and also agree with what Climber has written above. For me, it wasn't just stopping drinking - I had to change my lifestyle and habits. It isn't an overnight change but often a gradual one. The more sober I am the more I want to do sober activities. I can be around others drinking and go to drinking events but there are other things I'd prefer to do. I hope your weekend goes well.SR is open 24 hours a day so post as much as you need
