Hi Jolene, while it is up to you I would not buy alcohol free beer so soon as it could be a trigger. If you're not ready to tell your family about your sobriety yet, how about telling them you're on a new health kick or can't stay long and have to drive? I have found that I tend to over think this stuff a lot, thinking its a bigger deal than it is when in reality many people do not care or even notice if you're drinking or not. Often the few people that do have an issue with it have drinking problems of their own.
Why don't you want to tell them? I used to feel embarrassed about it, but I had to get over it (which may take longer than 10 days!
because my disease loves secrets and shame that can leave doors open for future drinking opportunities. I now know that in some ways I did not want to tell people that I was an alcoholic because if I returned to drinking at some point people would not bother me about it in the same way as if I had admitted to having a problem.
