I had to (and I'm still working on) understanding there is no reason to grieve because I haven't lost anything. Instead I've gained so many great things by quitting booze.
Allen Carr's book "Stop Drinking Now" helped me to understand that the reasons I believed I was giving up something important and pleasurable are almost entirely based on illusions.
Personally, I have to rid myself of any feelings of missing out. If I don't, my sobriety will be miserable and shaky at best.
I highly suggest Carr's book to help dispel any notions that sobriety means one is missing out on anything.
