Thank you everyone. As I said in my first post, I'm finding this all a very lonely experience.

I don't know many people who don't drink and it seems that alcohol is everywhere - I can hardly escape it. I helped out my next door neighbours the other day and they brought me round a bottle of wine to say thank you. Argh! It was pretty torturous sitting there while my husband drank it. He hasn't given up drinking. He is an enthusiastic drinker himself but nowhere near as bad as me and when I'm sober (as I've managed to do from time to time) he seems happy to drink moderately.

I'm just wondering how I can manage to keep this up when my social life has always revolved around drinking. I'm horribly shy, self conscious and anxious and alcohol has always been a crutch that's helped me through life.
