Normal drinkers don't care, but I have had 3 people within the last 6 months approach me about why and how I quit, and thought that they might have a problem as well. Now that my parents are finally cognizant that I am an alcoholic, (it took a trip to the ER for them to see the light), even after I told them previously that I thought I had a problem and asked them for support....which they blew off, and just told me to "control my drinking" at the time. Now I am getting more calls from them checking in on me, and reminding me that I can no longer drink...which I sort of get a kick out of now, because they don't realize that I found security in sobriety in the last 6 months, so they treat me like someone who is shaking to get their next drink on...which I kind of like because it lets me know they do care, and it keeps me honest.
