Our sober eyes can be both reassuring and frightening, I think. It can feel great to see things as they really are (without the 'fog' of alcohol) but those sober eyes can (initially, anyway) make us feel as though we are in a foreign country or unchartered waters. While in active alcoholism, our perception of reality is very skewed.
Give it time, BC; things will normalize and you will become more comfortable in your own skin/in your true reality.
(Sorry that I misconstrued your post. I was 'seeing' your ability to grow in situational awareness, which I think is a really fantastic step. Recognizing that your family/friends seem 'unknown' is actually a good thing, too, as true relationships often need to be reestablished or mended after finding sobriety and recovery).
I truly believe that things are going to be okay; be patient with yourself and others; you are creating a 'new (and improved) normal'.
