Realizing not everyone from your life can journey with you through sobriety & it’s certainly heartbreaking

Yes heartbreaking is a great word. I have 33 months and still have a family member that doesn’t really speak to me because my husband doesn’t party with him like he used to. Pretty sad (it’s my nephew) but he is on a very slippery slope with how much he drinks (his mom and dad both died alcoholic) so I am ok with it. I did sobriety the first two times to shut everyone up BUT now I was headed for a real bad problem and I am doing this for me.
Please get yourself a nice solid recovery group. They help so much. I have early recovery meetings, a counselor, recovery coach, and solid sober friends. I will not die like my brother the color of a lemon from alcohol, or like my friend that was found dead in his car because of alcoholism. He bled out from every part of his body. So basically point I am making “I don’t care” that people don’t like that I don’t drink.
We need to do for ourselves whether one minute, one hour or one day at a time. People need to respect us more.
