The further away I get from my last drink the less I care what others think.

First I told just close family. Then work colleagues friends and others as it came up.

Personally I got sick and tired of hiding...I am now very very open but only if it comes up or is appropriate. I didn't get sober to hide under a rock.

The most annoying aspect of sobriety for me today is that the fact I don't drink sometimes makes others paranoid or feel the need to explain or justify their own drinking

Honestly I don't care what others think of me today...I made an honest decision to quit for myself so it matters much less what others think...makes no difference to my decision and any problem is their problem
