📝 My sister does not like my husband

I (28 F) have been married to my husband (36 M) for one month. We have been together a total of 5 years. My husband is a recovering addict and I knew that from the beginning. My sister always looked down on him for that, but I know he had put a lot of work into maintaining his sobriety. Back in October he relapsed for about 3 weeks, and to me that showed great control as I know how far down he could have spiraled. But ever since my sister knew he relapsed she did not support our relationship at all. When I got married she did not congratulate me but instead lectured me about how my marriage will fall apart in the future. I tried to invite her to our elopement but she did not want to attend. I told her I did not what this to interfere with our relationship and she agreed, but ever since then she has barely said a word to me. What do I do now? I feel like I can’t dwell on it because it’s making me very depressed but I am hurt by her unsupportiveness. She does not want him to attend family gatherings or anything, which she usually hosts. I feel offended because this is someone I care deeply about and she has decided he is just garbage because he’s had a substance abuse problem. She had only read things online and knows nothing about real people with addictions. Should I feel guilt for this?
