Congrats on day 8! I would agree that bars are simply not a good idea this early on. Yes it's certainly possible and I "tested" myself to see if I could too...but also found that it was really no fun being around a bunch of drunks when you are sober. As you move forward you'll find that there are so many things to do that don't involve drinking that you won't even think of the 'old ways' much anymore.
