Never mind the family. I wasn`t convinced myself I would stop drinking. Outside of my wife, sister and a close friend never talked about getting sober and almost 24 years later I still don`t talk about it.
By not shooting my mouth off I never felt pressure regarding my sobriety. I`m not saying what I will do tomorrow. I`m just not having a drink today.
I find a lot of comfort looking at sobriety this way.
