Welcome LostDotty!
I think most people tend to react like your family and friends: "Just don't drink as much - just have a couple!" For us, though, it a maddening proposition; we're never happy with a drink or two.
What was interesting to me was that when I got sober, several of my drinking friends said "Yeah, I should probably cut down too."
You're doing something wonderful for yourself - just hold on to that idea!
