It was never suggested I wouldn't but they all probably thought I was going to drink again. I was 2 weeks into it before I even said anything to my husband about quitting. He noticed I was not drinking but didn't bring it up. When I used the A word he tried saying I wasn't. I imagine he thought I would drink again and told me to cut back. My friends all thought I was on some kick and every once in a while would forget I quit. Now I am just one of the non drinking friends in the group. My kid was the only one who has ever called me out for my drinking.
It took about 6 months before I felt that shift and I knew I was probably going to make it. Before that it was day by day at times. I was accused of drinking during one of my PAWS episodes by my husband and one other time when I brought home a 2liter of Coke. I got really upset both times and he couldn't figure out why. He still doesn't get he was really close to having a full blown A word for a wife.
