I'm fairly new to sobriety. I have been doing 12 step for about three months. In that time I have had two relapses and have had alcohol on 6 days. I'm currently 30 days sober. So in 90 days I've had alcohol 6. In the 90 days prior to joining a 12 step I probably had alcohol in 50-60 days.
RR and AVRT makes more sense to me than 12 step but I really like the fellowship and find some of the people in the program a a help to my sobriety. I intend to use
That said the holidays will be rough for me this year. I'm struggling at work and am going through a divorce which though amicable is quite painful. I am going to have some social engagements where alcohol is present but it will be around a lot of people who don't know that I recently sober. I'm wondering if anyone has tips on how to handle yourself in those situations.
As a person I tend to be quite introverted, alcohol for me was a real social lubricant in that it 'helped' me to interact with others.
