|  I did it!
Good morning ladies! I did it. I asked my husband for his support and understanding of my need to quit drinking. He seems a little confused, but he did agree to support me in any way. We shall see, you know this weekend is when he wanting to go boating with his friends, and I 'm suppose to be studying. So.... But, I'm proud of myself today for standing up to him and asking for help and support with my drinking problem. Hugs, Becky B |

Becky, you rock. I wish I had the guts to do this. My husband is in total denial of my problem. He doesn't even ask where I am when I'm gone from work to go to AA meetings (we work in the same place). He sees the AA books on my bedside table and says nothing. I get the impression he wants me to "just handle it." Meanwhile, he sits on the couch having a cold beer after work. 1/2 open wine bottles have been on our wine rack for 40 days. I'm not touching them, but still, a little involvement might be nice. Not nagging, just involvement, concern or interest. I guess I'm a little depressed today. Sorry. I'm happy for you though. Let me know how it goes, so I can be inspired to do the same.

You go girl. See you just had to communicate. A thing most of us have a hard time doing. However it is one of the strongest things to have in a relationship most fail because of lack of. I am so happy to hear I think over time he will understand even more about the situation too. Hang in there and stay sober. Carrie how about you giving communication a try to. Ask him if you can talk about your recovery with him for a few minutes. I am sure he will. What have you got to lose? I pray to have your strength with the wine bottles laying around and hubby with a can of beer. I mean I know I can just go to the liquor store at anytime but having it right there does it not bother you? Oh also try to ask him when he has no beer in hand.

Hi, thank all of you. Carrie keep going strong. I know it's hard. All these times I hae tried to quit, then my husband will get off of work and say"let's have some wine". When I told him I had and problem and needed his support, he offered it to me. But, he said "do you have to quit forever?" I don't know what to say, but I know I have to get sober and stay that way. You're doing a great thing. Hold your head high and keep it up, maybe he'll come around. hugs, Becky |
