I decided that being sober was my top priority. Everything else was second. I felt without my sobriety, everything else in my life would fall apart. No good for me and no good for my family.
So in early quit I said no thanks to trips like you describe. Later on I found I could easily attend without being tempted. However my personality changed and I wasn't interested in the old stuff anyway. So that kind of took care of itself.
I moved on to different people and activities.
