Just think about yourself. I have come to realise that 'drink' (i.e. alcohol) is the only drink you have to justify not drinking to others. That is because of the all pervasive culture of drinking we live in.
Therefore peer pressure is a huge problem so stay out of the way for a while until you feel somewhat adjusted.
People will ask you: "Why? Do you have a problem / are you alcoholic?"
This shifts the attention away from other drinkers who may, quite reasonably, be drinking in more moderate amounts than you have been doing recently. What is not considered is that these same people may be at risk at different times in their life, be that in the short or longer term. (or may already be in trouble due to drinking).
Drinking in moderation is a fallacy because there actually is no absolute safe level except for non at all.
You will miss it for a time. You will start to see things that you haven't been dealing with come back into focus. You may, like me, be hiding depression behind your drinking. All this will temp you back to your old ways, so go easy on yourself and take things slowly.
Your body will start to thank you.
Well done on 5 days.
