Lele, I know a lot of people can't be around booze when they quit, but in my situation I am... roommates and friends still drink. Some reasonably, sometimes not, but it's around.
Thing is I thought I would spend all my social events just feeling conflicted and stressed about not drinking. Turns out yeah, sometimes it's hard (like that moment at a party when you realize the person you're talking to is not being clever, they're being drunk)... but if you compare it to the stress I went through during those same events while drinking, it's way easier. I would be drinking and loving it, yeah, but I would also be putting a huge amount of effort into simultaneously drinking as much as possible and seeming as sober as I could manage. And that doesn't even get into the next day stress.
I recognize it's a lot different within a marriage. But basically I find it way easier to be sober around temptation than I found it to be drunk around temptation, if that makes sense.
