Problems with significant others
Hi everyone,
I am just wondering what you all have to say about how your spouses/significant others are dealing with your attempts to become/stay sober.
My own best (I say this a little dubiously) experience has been that my b/f is glad I am no longer drinking. (Makes me wonder how he saw those episodes, but his way of living with this is that we have had the discussion and now we don't need to talk about it anymore.) I am not saying this is bad, but as those of us who have a problem with alcohol know, out of neccesity a chunk of our being is now devoted to staying sober, and to how to do that.
I feel in some ways I am not totally sharing the nature of my life with him if I cannot talk to him about this. Yet, maybe it is not necessary. I have always loved the ideal that two people who are very close know everything about each other but maybe that is never the case....
All opinions welcome!
