Thanks Nonsensical.... During my 1.5 years of sobriety, I mainly avoided social outings if I could.. I would make up excuses to not hang out with friends, or go to events. I remember going to a wedding, in which I had to leave halfway through, because I felt to out of place/awkard...
This time I want things to be different. I don't want to avoid these situations, but learn to be okay at them without the booze... I am completely fine at any type of social situation that does not include alcohol (gym, work conference, work lunches, day to day activities) but as soon as I am thrown into a situation where the expectation is to drink, I have problems...
