When I had a little sober time, there was still no way I could go into a liquor store or have a friend drink in my place. That took years.
I think you're putting too much emphasis on what others will think about you having a dry home or that you're not drinking.
I was pleasantly surprised when I just flat out told people I quit drinking.
Anyone who new me knew I was a heavy drinker, too.
Their reaction was like, "Oh". How's so and so?
Believe it or not other people's lives don't revolve around how much we drink.
Try not to worry about what might happen. I think you're on the right track, though.
Get comfortable in your own skin about not drinking before you have a party or announce to the world you're sober would be my advice.
I hope you are pleasantly surprised
