It takes a long time, got to just keep being a living example.
And they still treat you like you’re still a drunk - not trusting your decisions, etc. - it will get better - they really just need to be shown for awhile
Yes, this is so real. Think about how long your family watched you use. Months, years, however long it was, that's how long they knew that version of you as "normal". Trust takes time to rebuild, usually longer than we want it to. Give them the same grace you're giving yourself right now. The new you is still new to them. Keep showing up and it'll click for them eventually.
Yes it happens but it takes time just keep showing up and doing the next right thing and they will eventually come around
