It's really early to be throwing yourself into the deep end of the pool, especially surrounded by folks whoi may not be supportive.

If you feel you really must attend , you need to start making plans now.

Think about what you might say to people who offer you a drink, or who ask why you're not drinking.

Think about an 'emergency break glass' escape plan, if needed.

there are some good tips here for all kinds of social occasions

Think about what strategies you have for dealing with cravings or thoughts that 'just one won't hurt'

You may find yourself a little miserable but you can do this sober.

Put your recovery first at all times - I wish you the best
