A good book and a first to detachment

I found a book at the library today and read most of it already and it has helped me, When Someone you Love Drinks Too Much by William F. Kraft, PhD.
Also, last night and tonight my AH is out drinking and last night I did not take my cell phone to bed with me in case he gets picked up or put in the hospital. I don't plan to do it tonight either. I felt more in control of this awful situation than I ever have in the past, actually, I am controlling my situation, not his.......I did not go to his family's gathering tonight and I didn't apologize to them for not showing up. I let him do that. I was not going to let him take our son either because of obviously drinking and driving, but he didn't bother to make him go. And I don't feel bad about that! Yeah!!!!
I know I have a long way to go, but little victories are huge sometimes!
