I am now sharing my road to recovery with friends of friends and acquaintances too.
I'm glad you seem to have a supportive group of friends. Nevertheless I'd urge caution about who you choose to share your recovery with.

When I quit, I thought I had to tell everyone I met - drinking had been so important to me, I assumed it was important for others too.

That did me no harm as I'm out of the workforce now and too old to care what other people think of me - but if thats not you I think you need to be careful.

All most people need to know is you're a non drinker.

Fair or not, there's still a stigma about alcoholism. Be judicious in who you tell. Think about who they might tell.
