We don't really have much ( aka none ) control over how others react around us. It can certainly be disappointing but it's the reality of addiction. What we can control is our own actions and how we move forward in sobriety.

Understand too that some people are going to have resentments against you for what we've done when we were drinking. Flip the tables for a minute and think of how you would feel if you were treated the way you treated others.

The good news is that if you can stay sober and show people you mean it, they will react positively over time. But it's defnintely not going to happen overnight..it might take months or even years.
