Stephen - I stayed away from those situations for a while, but as time goes by, it's easier and easier to socialize and go on vacations without drinking. It was uncomfortable at first, but every time you do it, you just get stronger and stronger. The positives are so great - you can be the one truly enjoying yourself, knowing you won't be hungover, say or do dumb things you might regret, and being truly in the moment. I have had a couple of sober vacations now, and it's SO much better. I can go places with alcohol all around me and barely notice it now. But listen to your gut, and don't push it too soon.
