So you are dwelling on the future and are worried that sobriety will ruin friendships, relationships, connections.
The truth is, continued alcoholic drinking will rob you of those things and a lot more. There are countless posts here on SR to support that.
ANYTHING you come up with, in your head, that supports drinking is the insanity of alcohol and alcoholism. That is how the addiction works: through fear, denial, and "romancing" the whole alcohol culture.
Give it a year. If you aren't satisfied with sobriety, you can always get back on the crazy train of drinking...but not on day 2!
Good luck.
