Often family members who are not in recovery question the need for meetings. One suggestion.....invite your family to events where they can meet people in your group. A connection with your recovery group can ease a lot of fears.
My family was not in recovery, so I just gave up TV watching for meeting time. While they vegged......I went to my meeting......and was back in time for some family time. After awhile the family got used to my routine.
If I do have to make a choice, it's based upon common sense. Birthday dinner at home? Pick a meeting where it won't interfere. Request to do chore rather than go to meeting? Go to meeting and do chore afterwards.
This is a great question for your sponsor, btw.
