No, you can't stay home forever. But you're
five days sober and already antsy to get out and do stuff. I would strongly suggest you stay away from any reminders of your drinking life, stay away from activities in which alcohol in the main focus, pretty much stay away from alcohol until you get a solid footing of sobriety under you.
Find sober activities. If you can't and if that means staying home, so be it. Stay home and work on your recovery.
