Your non-alcoholic spouse's reactions to your recovery?
Are they just waiting for the other shoe to drop? I'm on day 36 now, Friday, H and I went to a bar with friends. I was completely fine, wasn't even jealous I couldn't drink, etc.
One of H's major issues with my drinking was how he had to watch over me because I would always literally get falling down drunk and black out, etc. So, after sharing with him what it was like for me to be sober in the middle of a bar with our drinking friends (all positive stuff), I asked him what it was like for him not to have to watch over me...thinking that perhaps I'd get good feedback.
Um - wrong. He just said it was weird. And so I said, oh...weird? Wanting him to expand a little on the answer...and he got mad and said that I "wants results immediately!"
Whoa - no...I explained I was just asking a question?
So - I guess this is anger at me for all the years of what I put him through? But my question is, when does that abate. I mean, my god, I've stopped drinking, I've apologized over and over, what else can I do here?
Thanks,
