There are very few social situations where you ABSOLUTELY must go to them. You may be defining them as "unavoidable" or you are attributing someone's perceived notion of your attendance as "unavoidable."
Let me ask you, did you ever miss a social situation because of your drinking? Then you can miss them for your sobriety.
Lastly, you don't have to avoid them
forever. You just have to avoid situations of extreme temptation in early recovery.
