"You can't do anything you want because you cant drink."
(I can do anything I want and just not drink as a part of it.)
"You lost one of the great people you love the most because you are sticking with sobriety and not drinking.
(First, that person loves alcohol more than me right now. And second, the greatest love of all is myself. Sobriety is an example of loving myself. Being second fiddle to someone else's love for alcohol, is treating myself badly.")
