Get a substitute while you break the alcohol habit. I found that if I had something that resembled what others were drinking around my kitchen I would be mostly fine. Have sparkling water but in a rocks glass with lemon. Dark fruit juice cut with water in a wine glass. My favorite: cranberry juice and tonic with a lime and dash of bitters. Just like real drinking going on! You know, minus the alcohol part.
Search for "mocktails" or "non-alcoholic cocktails" for some surprising substitutes.
