Hello Beerholic-

My situation is a bit like yours, in that I have a wife who hardly ever drinks and doesn't miss it now that it's never in the house. It's good to have that support.
I was a beer drinker as well. Seas of the stuff for over 15 years. I live in the San Francisco area, so there are a ton of food/beer fests and no shortage of drinking opportunities. Craft beer establishments everywhere you look. Wine country. A hedonist's paradise.
Six months in to sobriety and none of that is really on my radar anymore. I'm too busy living life and doing the things I was always too hungover or buzzed to do. It's funny that alcohol is associated with "living it up" or " living life to the fullest," even though life will never be as full for us when we include alcohol in it.
