Hi Rachael! I believe the best idea is to stay as far away from alcohol as you can. Don't go to the places where you are going to be tempeted to drink, at least for now. Ask your friends to help you with this, I'm sure you can have a lot of fun together without involving alcohol!!
Differences of habit and language
are nothing at all if our aims are
identical and our hearts are open.
