Don't worry why it's not. It's not and that's that. So if it is not easy to share your decision to quit drinking, don't. All you have to say is, "No, thanks," to any offer of drinks. If they press you as to why you aren't drinking, you still aren't obligated to answer them. "I'm just not drinking. A cola would be fine, thanks."
Quit tormenting yourself.
And if you expecting validation from others for your decision to quit drinking, you are going to be disappointed.
