Yes, I have people that are either obviously disappointed, actually say that I am no fun anymore, or find me difficult to talk to/a bit uptight.
The ones that spring immediately to mind are my mother in law, my best mate, some of my friends and neighbours, my son.
Mainly I don't mind very much as I know that
a) they will get used to it
b) they do love me
c) I will loosen up with time (I know this from when I have stopped other addictions in the past).
d) change is difficult for everyone in the beginning
The only thing that I find really painful is that my relationship with my adult son is strained when I am not drinking. There is a lot of painful history.
There are people that like me better when I am not drinking too. Namely my staff and my husband. I am better humoured, more relaxed with them and generally less irritable to be around.
