Yeah it's not going to be easy.
My wife knows I quit, but she has seen me quit for periods of time a bunch. She doesn't want me to quit anyway. She is on the extreme social butterfly end while I'm the introvert. When I don't drink I am not nearly as interested in all the get togethers. They bore me.
The difference is an event where we would hang out from 6 until 12 and have a great time will now be 6 until 9 and not as engaging. I've experienced this before and the thing is it doesn't bother me. It bothers her though.
The family events are few and far between these days due to covid. The ski trip is with a bunch of extended family we haven't seen in years. I want to see them anyway but oh my wife would be so mad if I didn't attend. Nobody would be happy.
Hiding out isn't really an option.
