Not a silly question in the least, Silly. I was lucky in that my family has no experience with AA. Not to say there aren't any 'sobriety issues', but I have 4 uncles who used to drink alcoholically but no longer do, and I have never heard of them attending meetings or sponsors or 12 step journeys or any of that. I guess that means I come from a family of 'do it on their own-ers'.
There might be a bunch of relearning from the 12 step mentality that you are familiar with. Maybe your family will need some time to see the results from your new approach. I am sure that your actions will speak for themselves.
