Wife's wine breath...
Hi football guy,
The last time I sobered up I wasn't married so had no alcohol breaths in my face...but I wouldn't have handled it well at all in the beginning of my sobriety.
It is true we cannot hide from alcohol the rest of our life but it is important to take care of ourselves in the early sobriety days.
Now, I can be around alcohol but all of my family prefer not to drink around me...it is their choice not mine.
My husband did quit drinking before we got married again(was first husband) and did not have an alcohol problem like I did.
When I first sobered up I went to a meeting every night. I did this for a solid year to totally reinforce my wanting to be sober more than anything else in my life. After the first year I went three times a week or more if I needed to.
I still live the AA Program and steps in my life and do a lot of meditation and use the Serenity Prayer as my daily guide as to what I can and can't change. It works for me.
