Well done, keep at it and you will reap the rewards.
After many, many years of drinking I gave it up as well. Life changing for me as it opened up a new outlook on life and changed my approach to many things. I've emerged as someone I knew many moons ago and life has just been great since.
Oh and you don't need an alcoholic drink in your hand to socialise. The first time out with friends, to the pub and restaurant are just milestones along the way. Just get through Christmas, the New Year and the rest will be plain sailing.
