How do those in recovery/AA/rehab deal with your alcoholic family members?

I recently crashed my car drunk and got a DWI. Shame on me big time, I’m so grateful I didn’t hurt anybody. I learned my lesson big time and have been in AA since the very day after my arrest at my own will. I haven’t touched a drop since and at this point want to cut out alcohol from my life entirely, it’s only caused me pain. But my whole family is heavy drinkers. Parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, grandparents, neighbors, family friends, literally every person in my life drinks, and EXTREMELY HEAVILY. Every holiday is revolved around who made what wine, who brewed what beer, who made what sangria, what’s on the cocktail menu, etc. Then, ALL PROCEED TO DRIVE HOME ABSOLUTELY HAMMERED. Last Christmas, my aunt knocked down my other aunt’s concrete mounted, solid steel light post at the end of her driveway. I just know, that I could NEVER face them without a drink in my hand. They’d be like “WTF you don’t wanna have fun? COME ON!! Have a few drinks!!” Not only am I afraid to be sober near them, I’m scared for them, too. They don’t think they have a problem because they haven’t gotten the DUI yet. They haven’t gotten in the accident yet. They haven’t been arrested for public intoxication yet. They’ll judge me for what happened to me, though. Has anyone been here before? How did you cope? Did you just have to cut them all out for a few years? It’s honestly what I’m thinking of doing, even to Mom and Dad. Just no more communication for a while.
