Need to vent

I am working on overcoming alcoholism and have been on anti deppressants for about a year. I personally feel better but those around me say that they still dont know which me that they are going to get. My wife and brother have both expressed these concerns. How do you address something that you dont feel? I feel like i have taken soo many steps forward but then i hear their concerns and it makes me want to go back to the old me. Why be sober if people that are closest to you still think you are acting different? They say they want the original me back but how the fuck do you obtain that? I feel like i do not know myself based on their comments. Like i feel good, why cant others feel the same? I cant trick my mind into changing so.ething that i do not feel. Jesus this frustrating. Im at a loss. Thanks for reading.
