Thanks for everyone's support here! It's the start of day 4 for me :) was tough not to have a drink because I picked my husband up from his truck where he parked it after coming home from work for a few days and he had a beer in his hand and brought it into the car! Anyways I didn't and today is another day one step at a time :)

Hubby was in town and was supposed to be here until tomorrow. Was invited to a girls night a month ago and I planned on going but cancelled cuz hubby would have been here and he's only home once a month. Well he had to leave early meaning I could have gone out. I opted not too because this friends girls nights get wild and everyone would be drinking. They are super fun but I don't need this. So I'm at home wishing I was there

Your doin great. You'll find "safer" places where you can make new friends, hang out, talk, laugh, and shed a tear or two at times. As a social outlet AA serves that purpose very well for me, and I picked up some pearls of wisdom along the way too. There are many other safe places, and things to do. You will find the ones that are your cup of tea.

I avoided some of the things like you mentioned for a time, but after awhile I went to some. Funny thing was that on most occasions most of the people drank much less than I remembered, some not at all, and only a few like I did. There were people and places that dropped completely out of my life, because the only purpose of these "friends" and places was to get loaded.
