Hi all. Ive been sober for over a month now. Looking to make other sober connections (friends only). I’m proud I survived my first holiday bbq wothout drinking, but it was super hard. Anyone have any suggestions for socializing without alcohol? Thanks

I just bring out the kid in me and play with my nieces and nephews. Basketball. Softball. Helps to get away from the ones that are drinking.

You can bring your own non alcoholic drinks. Only stay for a little while, take a buddy with you or have someone you can as soon as times get tough

Have an escape plan. I’ve only had to use it once, but I’m glad I was able to leave on my own and get to a meeting.

Welcome Amy! I agree with the suggestions above, having an escape plan is always great along with bringing your own drinks so you could have exactly what you like. I would also suggest having a friend or a few know that you are not drinking and let them help you stay accountable if needed.
I’m here for you good luck
Hunt around, there’s sober activities in your area where people are doing the same thing, I went to an NA bbq on Memorial Day weekend, it was fun and no one was drinking or drugging
Welcome. Just keep plugging away
Me too
