Just got sober

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and site. Went through detox from the 4th to the 7th and have been sober since. I feel so much better and am starting a program next Tuesday.

I was a daily drinker for many years, but the death of my girlfriend of 5 1/2 years sent me into a tail spin. I knew I had to do something and getting sober was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I've done well so far, but I'm worried about when I go to my girlfriends family camp because they all pretty much drink. I love them and want to see them, and I know they'll look out for me, but not sure if I should stay away or not.
