Accused of drinking

Yesterday my best friend came to my house to use my wifi....she was busy with paperwork so I asked my husband to take me to cvs...I told my friend that my husband was going to take me and she had a tantrum...she basically accused me of wanting to go get a bottle of wine....she yelled and screamed and gathered all her stuff and took off...I'm really disappointed and angry at her.....I'm just over 3 months sober and don't plan on screwing it up now....thanks SR !!!!!!

You can't control what other people say and do. I'd let it go and chalk it up to misunderstanding.

I guess she wanted to help you?? I'm not sure that kind of drama is helpful though.

What an awful experience with your friend. All you can do is move forward and not let it get you down. I hope she calls to apologize. If you feel comfortable why not share your progress, goals and let her know your plan for sucess. Time heals and I hope your friendship will too.

Not sure how she jumped from having your husband take you to CVS to you wanting to buy wine. In any case, she had no right to yell and scream at you, even if she was concerned. You have every right to be angry; I would be angry, too.

I think your friend sounds rather unstable and angry. She comes round to use your WIFI and then shouts and screams at you when your husband drives you somewhere. Something clearly isn't right

Maybe she has underlying issues or is angry at something else. Whatever happens it doesn't really matter what she thinks. You have nothing to prove to her. You know you are sober and that's what matter.s Keep it up

Like Anna, I'm not sure that level of drama is helpful at all.

Sounds like you are leaving out part of the situation .....doesn't really make sense ....I'm sure if she is your best friend she supports your sobriety ......

Sometimes (some) people don't like the fact that you/we are getting sober. Threatening or something, shift in power relations, who knows? Hope you sort it out with her but what audacity. I am so sorry, that must have been very painful after clocking up 3 months. And even if you had gone to buy wine it was still none of her business all she had to do was go home minus wifi.

I don't know the background so I won't comment further on the drama, but I know it's rough sometimes with friends and family when we are newly sober.

I would chalk it up to a misunderstanding and move on with your sober self. You know you are sober, you know you plan to stay that way. Sometimes folks don't trust that because they can't see how it's different this time.

It will be ok. You rock for your three months, congrats!

If you've ever fed lies and hid booze/drinking from this person (especially if your husband was an enabler), then now's not the time to become indignant. If you never did, then tell her to pi** off.

Your friend as proactive as she is about your sobriety needs to calm down a bit

Congrats on 3 months Lillly

Maybe she thought that since you were going to cvs that she had to leave the house even though she just got there??
