Hey Silver Star,
I didn't tell anyone in my family I'd quit drinking until I felt comfortable, ...probably after 2 and a half weeks, and then only my Mom. For me , showing up at SR , and posting , and reading was way more helpful.
I tried some AA meetings , and just being in the same room listening to other people that had very similiar problems with booze was really damn helpful. The meetings were a little confusing at first, but they can be light hearted and fun, plus a whole lotta help .
Congratulations on day 6 !!!!!
