this is my experience. when I got sober first time around I got some less-than-good reactions from a few people when I over-shared. it can be emotive subject for people who've been on the wrong end of it. it's a big word & it means different things to different people.
I know my own truth - that I don't drink - and those (few) people who need to know it know it too. those who don't need to know don't need to know.
