Well I’m in need of sober friends over the weekend the temptation and pier pressure was definitely evident I didn’t give in but dangit was hard. I had to leave early due to it being overwhelming, plus I just left my significant other of 7 years due to his drinking so just a lot going on all at once I guess.

It sounds like you're going through a difficult time, and I'm sorry to hear that. It's great that you were able to resist temptation and prioritize your sobriety, even in the face of peer pressure. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do that, so you should be proud of yourself for making that choice.
It's also understandable that being in a social situation where alcohol is present can be overwhelming, especially given your recent breakup with your significant other due to their drinking. It's important to prioritize your own well-being and take steps to protect your sobriety.
One thing you might consider is seeking out support from others who are also in recovery. There are many support groups and resources available for people who are struggling with addiction, including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and other 12-step programs, as well as non-12-step programs like SMART Recovery. These groups can provide you with a community of people who understand what you're going through and can offer guidance and support.
It's also important to take care of yourself in other ways, such as getting enough sleep, eating well, and engaging in activities that you enjoy. Taking care of your physical and emotional health can help you stay strong and resilient in the face of challenges.
Remember that recovery is a process, and it's okay to take things one day at a time. It's also okay to seek out help and support when you need it. I wish you all the best on your journey to sobriety.

After 20+ years of being out every weekend and now making a total change to my lifestyle I’m in search of the same thing. It’s not easy at all but I’m starting to put myself in situations where I may be able to find healthy people. I use “meet up” to do outdoor activities with new people, that has helped some. But I’m about to push this into high gear and start going to meditation group meetings and other things like that. I wasn’t as strong this weekend and slipped up but I feel like I’m really over it now. I’d rather be alone than with people that are no good for me and won’t push me to be better.
