Absolutely! Now when I get together with friends, I am comfortable doing it sober and I don't want or miss alcohol. That wasn't true at first ... it took time and effort.
The first couple of months, the dinner hour was absolute hell. How was I supposed to cook dinner without opening a bottle of wine? A year later, I can honestly say I do not even think about it when I start to cook now ... the problem has been removed.
