That's what really pissed me off when I quit. I was never the "come'on drink!!" to people that had stopped. I instead congratulated them on doing something that I so wanted to do myself. BUT...When I stopped..there were "congrats!" at first and then the "but..why?? what about us?" nonsense started..looking back now they just didn't want to seem 'that bad' and also the 'free party' that came when I drank was going away. I don't miss those "friends" at all.
Happy B-day!!
