I would agree, it does get easier over time. I will freely admit that I really don't hang around places where people are drinking anymore either - not because I can't but because I just don't want to. I've found so many other things to do and places to go/people to associate with that the old drinking crowd just isn't something I even think about anymore. When it come to family of course you can't change that, but when I'm around family that is drinking I really don't pay too much attention. Just as I don't really care if they are eating broccoli or wearing a baseball cap - I can't control what others do so I don't let it bother me.
