So you struggle with accepting never, ever, drinking again? There are no strategies for dealing with a less than 100% commitment to sobriety. It can't be a commitment to quit until an after work event, or a party, or because you deserve to celebrate. You have to quit, for good. And accept it...not as punishment, but as freedom from the constrictions of your addiction.
As for drinking events...avoid them in early recovery. Missing them, at least in the early days, is a sacrifice you have to make to your commitment.
