I'm running a bizarre gauntlet of thoughts these days. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I'm almost relieved when she's drunk, because then she leaves me in peace. I know that's horrible, and I feel guilty about it, too. I guess we all have our own demons to deal with.
I was a drunk married to a drunk. I got sober the last year of our marriage and have managed to remain so for 4.5 years now by the grace of HP.
My marriage to a drunk was by far, much more tolerable when I was drunk as well. Sobriety is no way to live with a drunk.
That last year my axw would drink a case of beer a day and STILL NOT PASS OUT and give me some peace.
I did the math, a case a day plus 2 packs of premium smokes, nothing to good for MY axw! Back then it was $20+ a day when we couldn't even afford the mortgage.
My solution? BTW, she jumped on this. Suggested she switch to rot gut vodka, it all tastes the same to me, $10 for a half gallon. Got 3 daze of drunks out of it, and thankfully she'd pass out quick so I didn't have to put up with any crap. And saved a ton of money. Worked out beautifully. I mean really, why ***** foot around.
As far as wasting brain cells on guilt over enjoying some peace, I wouldn't.
Thanks and God bless us all,
