Congrats on 141 days! I thought I lost a lot of friends when I quit too, but in reality I just lost drinking buddies. I have also found that now that I've become more involved with my family and kids I am meeting lots and lots of people who are not drinkers, or that drinking has no bearing on the relationship. And like you I am also still saddened at times to remember how empty my life was before when the only thing that mattered was where the next beer was coming from. I feel bad for my old pals who are still in that mode.
