Is it weird that I try to keep my sobriety

Is it weird that I try to keep my sobriety a secret :shushing_face::thinking:

Nope. People don't respect it. Though I understand where you're coming from, don't hide it.

You may not like this, but the reason I, and many of us, keep our sobriety a secret is because we don’t want other people to judge us when we fail.

Sharing your sobriety not only gives you support, but it also adds a level of accountability.

Good point. Thx.

You should do whatever works for you. There is not one right way. If keeping your sobriety a secret works for you than go for it!

Totally agree about accountability!! Share with others that have the same problems and/ or loves you unconditionally. ( that’s hard to find. We constantly share our time sober in AA to help each other out of love.
