Day 4 and all is well! I manage to get out of a barbecue this friday night which is a bit of a relief.

The challenge is dealing with the weird anxiety I appear to bring on myself in social situations which for some reason I think Alcohol helps me in these situations, the truth is by far the opposite as I inevitibly drink too much and wake up beating myself up for the various stupid and innapropriate remarks I said the night before! Think I am going to just lay low for a few weeks socially until I have a bit of distance between myself and the last drink I had.
