Totally normal….It took me over a year before I could enjoy dinner out with people that would drink. Everyone is different :pray:

Some people order a MOCKtail so they don’t feel “left out” and still have something nice to sip on. Alcohol isn’t my first DOC but I definitely can’t drink either: I love a mocktail to feel special!
Disclaimer: know yourself first! For some folks this isn’t a best practice. Oh and double check with the server before you taste :tongue: :+1:t2:🩷

Just because someone else may order poison and then drink it, doesn't mean you need to.

I’ve been there. It took me a year Lisa before I was comfortable being around people that drink order a mocktail

And just because the other friends are drinking, doesn’t mean you have to you can always order a soda. You can always order some water if you have to excuse yourself from the table and go outside and get some fresh air.
