Hello ArtFriend.
In early recovery, my family (Father, uncles, aunties and cousins) did not want to talk to me. That was 27 years ago. I have been alone, family wise, all that time and it is still that way. As far as I know, they think I am either still drunk or dead.
They know how to contact me if they wanted to. I have a very rare surname, but it can be Googled, and I am still listed on phone records. So go figure.
Non of them know that I have completely changed since they last knew me. I am a person who has recovered, and not the old me polished up, but a brand new me, and my family don't want to know.
So that is their problem - not mine.
PS. My username is exactly their last words to me.
