One of the happiest achievements I ever made was being able to socialize without alcohol. Never had a problem with it; in fact I drank it considerably less than everyone else to begin with, because my mother was an active alcoholic until I was 11 years old, and I remember well the drama. Did not want that for myself. But being able to put it down, never want it, need it, or rely on it for anything... never caring what other people think, and only having it be a problem if the people around me try to obligate me by buying me drinks... which really does not go over well with me... being able to live without ever even thinking about it... is truly priceless, one of the things I have accomplished that gives me subtle joy on a continual basis. I hope you get to experience this as well. As I said... freedom.
