Also - remember that it takes time to undo all the lies and problems we caused while we were drinking. Not sure about you but i promised to quit and didn't many times, both to myself and others. I certainly wouldn't be the least bit suprised if someone doubted me at some point - they certainly would have ample reason to do so.
Yes... Undoing those lies is the tough part. My boyfriend still doesn't trust me fully. I promised him that if anything happens and I goof up my sobriety I will tell him... He does not believe me. But unfortunately I deserve that.
I've realized I can't get mad about the snide remarks, "pfttt. Yeah right." "sure... i've heard that excuse before."
I mean I COULD get mad. But it does no good. So I just strive on proving those people wrong. That's what keeps me up.
It's hard when you don't have support. Hang in there.
