We must stay away from other users if we are to maintain our sobriety

Good thing you did not drink. Congratulations 
This must have been a difficult situation, especially in your first week.
I would advide to join a meeting or read some recovery literature as to make sure, your brain knows you are not interested in drinks.
Some questions about the situation:
Does your friend know you are in recovery?
If so, I would not consider this person good to have around right know. If he knows, than he should care for your need to stay sober and not take you to a wine shop. In this case he is just a drinking buddy. You don’t need drinking buddies in your life.
If your friend does not know, why did you not tell him? Honesty is very important in sobriety.
Why did you go with your friend into the shop? You could have stopped when you knew what kind of shop this is.
Think about the whole situation and all the things you could do differently in the future as to not end up in a situation like this again. Think about which people around you are friends, and which are just drinking buddies.

Well, leave. Better than any coping mechanism. And learn to say no.

Coping mechanism no. 1 is to stay away from alcohol. Get out of there. If your friend is a real friend they’ll understand and support you.

@acromouse
Actually he doesn’t know that, after he came up with two beers i said i stopped drinking and he didn’t compel me to drink. I know i cannot drink one beer like him and im a alcoholic and he is not like me.
Actually he doesn’t have car he said me to meet a person so i went with him, after meeting him he said he want to drink.
Anyway i didn’t drink I said no
Thanks buddy
