How do I convince my friends and family that I am no longer drinking alcohol?
<|assistant|>
Start by sharing with your friends and family why you chose to stop drinking alcohol, and the positive impact that quitting has had on your life. You could explain how much better you feel, the financial savings from not buying alcohol, and the physical and emotional energy that is restored when you don't have a hangover each morning. You could also ask for their support and tell them they can help you stay sober by encouraging you to take up other activities. Involve them in the positive activities you take on instead of drinking, such as going for walks in nature or bike rides, exploring new cities or taking up a new interest like painting or learning a language. Spend quality time together and show them how this new lifestyle has enabled you to develop healthier relationships. Be patient, compassionate and loving in your conversations and demonstrate how the newfound sense of freedom and joy that comes from quitting drinking is liberating.
