Hi Froggle
For a while, I stayed away from events where I knew there would be drinking.
I wanted to put clear distance between the person I had been and the person I wanted to become.
Being around drinkers was too much of a temptation for me early on, and it made me feel sorry for myself to be a non drinker.
I'm not suggesting you stay at home and pull the curtains tho. There's a million things we can do that don't need to involve alcohol - movies, picnics, walks, cafes, sports, hobbies - maybe you can interest some of your friends in activities like that?
At one month sober, this is not the best its going to be
After a few months of recovery I started to realise how much better everything was now I was sober.
Nowadays I can go anywhere and do anything - but I still think of that early part of my recovery avoiding tempting situations as a wise investment.
