When sobriety changes the foundation of friendship

My closest friend got sober eight months ago and I'm so proud of her but also our entire friendship was built around going out and drinking together, and now we're both trying to figure out how to be friends in this new way. Neither of us wants to say that it feels awkward sometimes.
