Hello:
Welcome. I'm so glad that you are posting now. It makes a huge difference. My hubby is a normal drinker and it doesn't bother me if he drinks so it can be done. When people ask me why I don't drink I tell them that it is because I don't like it anymore, or I say that my body is a temple and o respect it, making a joke... Depends on the mood, but in general people do not make a big deal about it. It was a little weird with some people but my true friends are exactly the same with me, just minus the booze. I also tell people that I want to feel and look my best. I have 13 months and I feel great physically. My hubby, being a "normie", wanted me to moderate but after some conversations I believe he is starting to understand that I can't and I don't want to. Who wants 2 drinks? I want 10!
Wanting it is the first step. Search AVRT, AA, SMART, educate yourself. Reading here is a great way to learn.
Welcome again and see you around.
