Telling People?
Hey everyone! I am on day 10 and feeling pretty good!
Yesterday, I went over to my parents' house and everyone was drinking. My sister-in-law brought a bunch of stuff to make some apple pie drink and asked if I wanted one. She was disappointed when I said no thanks. At this point, I have only told my husband about my sobriety. I made up some excuse to my family that I was too tired to drink and that it would make me fall asleep. They probably all think I am pregnant now or something! lol.
Anyways, when I got home and mentioned that this happened to my husband he told me that I should just tell them the truth. I feel like it would be too awkward to tell them. I am hoping that they will just slowly over time realize that I don't drink anymore. Is this too much to hope for? Did you all make announcements to everyone when you stopped drinking? I am not sure if there is something deeper in me not wanting to say anything to my family and friends.
