Welcome, Cloudysky

Congrats on your sober time!

I tend not to go around drinkers yet and I am almost 500 days sober. We have a close friend who is a drinker but he doesn't drink around me, so it's not an issue.

I don't have much advice to you regarding mingling with others in work or social situations where there's alcohol. But if you do feel you are on shaky ground at any time, I'd be very careful to limit the amount of time spent around these people and drinking situations. If it's work related, just get by with the bare minimum necessary to maintain your connections. As for social gatherings... there are so many groups that do things that don't involved alcohol... for example, outdoorsy things like hiking, biking, running.
