It's been weird with them... My husband says he is supportive, but is still mourning the loss of his drinking buddy. He is happy, but he doesn't believe I am one, an alchy, he wants me to moderate, but I don't care. I do what I want and protect my sobriety hard. I have had many tough conversations with him.
The rest of my family doesn't say anything about it. Nobody thought I was an alcoholic, problem drinker, neither have my friends, some of them say they admire me, one has joked that I should help him quit, joke, but there is some truth to that because he drinks A LOT.
It's been GREAT with my daughter. I get up every morning feeling great, ready for her, and she does't have to smell my stench. That is one of the best feelings in the world right now for me. I also feel like I look good, my skin, my eyes, everything. I DO NOT miss the hangovers. Having to fake being fine was terrible...
