H and S have asked me how long I'm going to keep this up and made it clear it makes me pretty boring. But they've also both cut way back on their consumption since I stopped -- I haven't said anything to them about it. I know this is my journey and I have to live my own life and not try to control theirs. But that little bottle of brandy sitting in its nook next to the toaster gives me a little hit of panic when I walk past. So I'm upstairs setting up a new computer and generally staying away. H resents how much time I'm on the computer lately, too. But I figure, whatever works for me. And hanging around the both of them won't work.
Could be a long night up here...
Wow I'm sorry to hear this. Not sure what to say?
I admire what your doing and I hope you can hang in there,...recovery is totally cool!
