Just to say that although I don't have any plans to be with others who are drinking whilst socialising I think it would be very difficult to resist.......i would have to avoid it..........I have been in that situation in the past and was not drinking but felt very uncomfortable, anxious and had no idea what to say.........eventually gave in to temptation and got totally smashed and alone......others probably don't want to be in the company of someone who can barely walk or speak.......so much for socialising..............anyway......looking forward to day 9 sober tomorrow.........teaching online, then gym, movies, teaching again.......
