Hi Fernie, 
Welcome to the AHC community - you found a great place to vent or seek advice from members who understand what you are going through.  
Congrats on being able to stay strong despite the questioning and judgements being made. 
 
What was your response to these questions?

I'm sorry to hear about  the judgement you are experiencing.  I think that's pretty standard from people who do not understand the depth and struggles that come along with addiction.

I'm glad that you did not drink though, because no matter what others say to you, you stuck to your guns and you met your own high expectations, congrats!!! 

Although the urges will always be there, it just gets easier and easier to say no each time you need to.

Great job!
