Judgemental

Today, I got a ton of angry and disappointed messages. My boyfriend posted a picture of us out at a restaurant, and I was holding a brown bottle. I’m a recovering alcoholic, and I was drinking a fancy root beer. No one believes me. FML
I agree, your life sucks 1 286

Tough luck. I'm sorry people disrespected you like that. Maybe, in a misguided way, that's there way of tryna care thus the "disappointment", however it's wrong they don't trust you. Please don't let it taint your motivation from recovering. Ignore it, stay strong and move on.

If your boyfriend was there with you in the picture why do they think you would lie? And shouldn’t he be vouching for you?

Hate that this is happening to you. Your bf should definitely vouch for you. Maybe you could appease them by finding a picture of said brand of root beer to show them, or maybe a bottle and recreate the way you were holding it in a picture and show them the bottle. Idk, I'm grasping at straws to find a way to get them off your back. Good luck. And congratulations on staying sober 💜
