Good for you! You recognize what might be a trigger for you and you avoid it. For me, and this is only for me, I welcome being around others drinking. I was at a restaurant the other day with a friend and they wanted to order a beer. They know about my recovery and said they would just pass on it this time. I told them that if I couldn't sit across from them while they drank and not have a desire to drink, I must not be ready to quit. Also, I find it fairly amusing to be around people who have had too much to drink and are not in full control of themselves. This reminds me how I used to act when drinking and reinforces my desire to never be like that again. Like I said, this is just the way I am handling my sobriety, but I encourage everyone to find exactly what works for them.
