I'm in the exact same place. Others around me either drink, and do not have a "problem" or don't drink at all. I have felt judged from both sides (when I drank before, and since I have decided to stop drinking now) but I also know that this is my life and my choice. I can't control other people or their opinions of me. I can only keep pushing ahead.

This is Day 2. I can do this.

Welcome, MaVie and congratulations on day 2 of a new life of freedom from alcohol! I am very glad you are here--this is a place where we 'get it;' it is hard to admit that we've been lowered to this dire point of utter enslavement to a chemical--it's embarrassing and humiliating----and liberating.
You can do this. Wishing you all the best on your sober journey.
