You probably won't believe me Brdlvr, but eventually it will bother you less, if at all. I still get the odd pangs of 'why me' but I haven't be out and jealous of people drinking for a long time. It has got progressively better.
Are you planning on drinking tomorrow? I found the whole battle of whether I would drink or not very tiring, I always did but I usually managed to last it out for a bit... sheer bloody mindedness. Until I decided to quit and not drink no matter what. It was very freeing in the end.
Merry Xmas anyway
