the thing I have often said I am going to stop drinking, normally after a binge and feeling sorry for myself. It is normal for people to think your intention not to give up but just to recover from a bender. I read in this forum somewhere to rather just say I am on anti biotic and cannot drink, good advice in my particular case. After 30 days I have confided in a few people. I have drunk heavily for many many years and unfortunately people know me a a piss cat and this will be difficult to change. The thing is I know I am progressing that’s all that counts for me
Its okay don’t let it get to you. Like my mom says show it to the world you can do it. Let people talk and just do you. All will be fine in the end!

This is definitely something that happens even my own brother told me he stopped drinking before and eventually Ill start again.I was hurt but also I saw that he drinks alot and he might have a problem too.
Ive had friends who hardly drink try to one up me on the amount of time they havent drank when i told them I stopped.
I think alcohol while fun for non alcoholics makes people feel very guilty.So sometimes when we share stuff with them about sobriety they think we are looking down on their habits as well.

I think this is what happened here because se loves her drinks…but I think my reaction to her comment was because of her disbelieve in me but I will show her
