Thanks guys. I know it won't always be that easy, i was just so glad that i was able to have a decent night sober. The problem is with living in such a small town is that we are one massive friendship group and the only thing really to do socially is to go out for tapas/drinks/dancing etc. I'm trying to think of other things to do that don't include alcohol whilst not feeling like i'm excluding myself from the whole group as that would be incredibly lonely in such a small place.
So far i have
-joined a hiking and activity club
-Made a pact with a close friend to stay in either friday or saturday night to have a series marathon/popcorn night.
-decided to spend more money on good ingredients. I love cooking but have found myself becoming increasingly cheap in order to have more money to go out and **** it up but now i'm indulging that more
If anyone else has some good suggestions then feel free to share xxxx
