Friday night can be misery or it can be a delight. I've said this before, but early in sobriety, I loved the idea of being sober on a Friday night while the drunks were filling the pubs and expounding half drunken philosophies to each other. The key for me was finding something else to do. I think being with sober people if you can find them is an excellent choice. SR might be enough, or you could decide to build a model railroad. But sitting in a chair thinking about what you might be missing out on would not be good.
