Thanks rose.
Congrats on your sober time.
About socialising. if you dont feel like it or dont want to do it or worried about it then dont do it. I've learned that I have to put my sobriety first and if I dont want to attend a function then I dont. I dont worry what people think of my decision. I had 3.5 years sober a while ago and learned to put myself first. Its not selfish it's self preservation.
Going into tempting drinking situations in the first month of sobriety is a no no for me
