First off, good of you to make the right decision to protect your sobriety.

You haven't been on SR long, so I'm assuming your sobriety has been a few months? A little soon to be attributing what you have to do in the short term to stay sober as your
entire life.
When you learn to relish your sobriety, to appreciate your sobriety, you will be able to go anywhere, do anything without risk of drinking. But as I mentioned in an earlier reply, if you view sobriety as a punishment, as depriving you of "fun" or whatever, you will be miserable.
