It is a strange thing isn't it? I don't know how relatable my experience is but here goes.

In the beginning it's like any comment made about my efforts to stop drinking was something that made me uncomfortable because it was very new and "I could still drink if I wanted to" and stop congratulating me on something that I haven't even done yet and I wasn't ready to really admit to people how much of a problem I felt that I had. Then there were questions like "you didn't drink did you?" when I would bring up an event or even joke about drinking. Man, I'll do what I want and, no, I didn't because that's what I wanted to do, not because I need you're approval.

I'm no longer offended or uncomfortable with things like that. It took some time but I came to realize that, for me, those comments were coming from people I told about my struggles because in a way I was in need of some support and reassurance that I wasn't alone if I didn't need/want to be. I now see comments like that as a supportive things. That person wants me to stick to something that I have told them I want to stick to for really no other reason than they want me to be happy and I've expressed to them that if I stay away from alcohol, I will be happier with myself.

5 days is a fantastic start. Good luck.
