For me I just told my family the truth.
Some refused to believe it, others didn't get it, and kept on offering me 'just one' or shandies or whatever...but I held fast and eventually they came around.
They saw I was happier sober, and while they might not have understood why I stop drinking they responded to me being happy.
I reckon your family will be the same, after a little adjustment

I didn't say we were close... And I didn't say I hadn't seen them or told them before....
Of course I've seen them but not in a bar and not while
they were drinking as the questioning got less diplomatic the more they had.
