To find out what other options I have in regards to socialising with others - I don\'t remember what socialising in a group is like without alcohol.

To embrace the new options and experience something new without getting sad I\'m losing friends or missing out.

Like Chris says: To change the \'need\' to a \'want\' or a \'no thanks I\'m good for now\' and be happy about it.

Not to hate drunks when I undertake the months.
