I am bit scared because I will go with ppl who smoke like there is no tmw and drinks as well. I already checked where to go hiking and run, but I would be happy to get tips how to keep move forward in the darkest hours.
Happy day, love all!

Wow, that is a chalenge for sure 
But good that you think about how to tackle this beforehand. Is everybody drinking? So there is no sober buddy to find?
How long are you going? Do they know you are sober? Do you have your own space to go to? Like a room for your self?
Is it easy to step aside the group when needed ore go home even when your sobriaty is in danger?
How important is this holiday for you? 
Maybe not going is an option?
Just some thoughts…

Best thing is to make sure you have sober alternatives in mind when you are away from home. My go-to’s are Cran-Soda-Lime (looks pretty and dupes as a vodka cran - and easy for bar-tenders to make), N/A Beer (more and more places have them - I like the Athletic Brewing line - the Guiness & Sam Adams NA is good also) and virgin pina coloda (so good! tastes way better then the full strength one).
And don’t be afraid to go to bed early - or go take a time out and post to reset the situation.
You’ll have fun! It is scary at first, but eventually you don’t even think about it anymore and have fun being the sober one

One of the things that helped me quit smoking was convincing myself that there is no such thing as one cigarette.
