Thank you, that's good advice. I really wish I could cancel but I just can't. It would cause world war 3! I have been around them when I was sober for a few months in my early 30's and I survived. I've already messaged a friend I am staying with tonight and tomorrow to let her know I'm not drinking. I'll come on here everyday and post before I go to bed so I think that will help too. It's horrible timing but I'm hoping to turn it into postive and at least get some time away to solidify my committment. I may just end up saying that I'm up for day time activites but when they are socialising at night then I'm off.
