It was a huge ask Red with all those activities. I declined a lot of invites my first year...the things I did go to I always ALWAYS had a stay sober plan like this:

and always an escape plan if my sober plan was weakening....

It was a big ask and I essentially got through it, the last part of going to the pub was a mistake and I knew it as soon as I found out we were going.
I'm proud I managed to do what I did though and learn what not to do next time which will be easier as there will always be an escape route if I'm here in my home town..
