And I have thought about. When I quit drinking I had to do more than put down the drink. I couldn't live my drinking life--bars, parties, alcohol centric activities--just without the alcohol. I had to make the changes that would support my recovery.

Can I go in a bar and not drink? Yes. But I have been in recovery almost 6 years. You have three days. You don't have to be a hermit your whole life, but you might think about removing yourself from temptation in the early weeks and months. You'll have plenty of time to prove your sobriety--when you have acquired some.
