You don't have to tell anyone if you don't want to. Who do you plan on telling?
I found that the less people that knew about my sobriety, the better off I was. I figure if they didn't know before I surely didn't need to spill the beans to clue them in. I didn't feel it was really any of their business. Sometimes people are better off not knowing the gory details...especially in a small town.

But it depends on who -and what role they play in your life.

That is something that is entirely up to you, tell when your ready, or if you never feel ready then don't, it's a completely personal decision. The only advice I would give is this, if you feel like you want to tell other people try and do it when you think you are in a stable enough place within yourself to handle whatever reactions they my have to what you're doing. Hopefully everyone you tell will be pleased for you and support you, but that may not always be the case, so prepare yourself just in case.

Congats on 9 days!!!!

I didn't tell anyone.

I felt recovery was such a private journey, and others could see the changes in me, so no need to say anything.
