I had a lot of comments thrown at me the first year from drinking friends that I was a part of. The first month they would just ask why aren't you drinking. I just said because I don't feel like it. After three months they would just make a drink for me and hand it to me. I would say no thank you I don't drink anymore. The comment was "Oh I thought you would have started again by now". After 10 months they would just ask " Are you still not drinking". After a year they no longer ask any questions and I have notice they are all trying to cut back on their own drinking.
