Since my wife still drinks everyday I was in a bar a few days after I quit drinking 38 days ago. I have even gone to the store by myself to buy her beer.
Next Friday we have a Christmas party to go to; they are all heavy drinkers and it will get pretty boring pretty quick for me once everyone is liquored up.
I was in these situations in 2013 when I quit drinking for 4 months and it was torture because back then I didn't really want to quit; I had started an anxiety medication and I couldn't drink with the meds.
This time I really want to quit drinking and have no desires or craving. I shouldn't have any problems except wanting to get the hell out of there.
