Second that emotion: alcohol in the house was a huge problem for me early in sobriety. It caused....no....I caused.... a couple of relapses because of it. After one relapse I ended up in the ER with serious withdrawal symptoms.
I was living like a mouse in my own house. I was afraid and lacked the self confidence to demand an alcohol free house.
My family regarded my issue with a nonchalant attitude. They continued to bring a lot of liquor into the house and it created problems for me in the form of relapses.
I finally made some demands and spoke up for myself. The mouse roared.
Felt kind of good to finally roar. Now things are really different around here and I can finally feel like my home is my shelter, and I don't have to worry about booze staring me in the face anymore.
