Welcome! I just joined a couple of days ago, and have found tremendous support. I’ve been a very heavy binge drinker for 32 years (except when I was pregnant). I totally understand having those friends whose “thing” is getting together and drinking until you can’t drink anymore. Personally, I’m going to avoid those situations for at least 90 days. At 90 days, I’ll re-evaluate and decide whether I need more of a break. We all came here for a reason, and that reason has to stay in the forefront of our minds. It’s more important than continuing traditions that landed us here in the first place. One quote that I keep thinking of is, “No one wakes up the morning after wishing they had had one more drink”... or something along those lines. I keep reminding myself how great it feels to wake up without a hangover, without shame, and without guilt.
