I have few friends none of them cared. some family found out I had a drinking problem because my wifes sister couldnt keep her mouth shut. So now when i'm visiting them they all go and hide to do there drinknig and i feel like i'm some kind of leper. I told my wife they can drink in front of me I dont care i'm not gonna lunge accross the table and steal there booze or something. She said they are just trying to be respectful. I guess they could tell me to go hide so they can drink ?
I guess it can play out many different ways.
