I do know what getting sober does alter relationships -- it maybe because things are so different.

Can I presume that your partner drinks?

Right now, the best thing to do is to stop drinking, as tough as that may sound. But, it isn't going to help anything.

It is easy for us addicts to feel bad because we took a drink, but what is important is that we learn from taking that drink. And, that we quickly turn it around, so it doesn't get out of control and on a runaway. You can turn this around and work on finding other ways to deal with situations -- it takes time to collect all the tools necessary for recovery. But you can be living proof, just like so many on this site.
SHe only has one or two... I have been for a 15 km pushbike ride this morn.
A great cure for feeling sick post drinking.

I know that I am much more settled in the last few months. I am quieter, and (as mentioned by a few friends) much calmer.

I think my partner is confused , I was always a happy drunk, laughing and playing the piano, telling jokes all that type of stuff.

I dont want to chemically induce that behaviour anymore. I know it is there naturally .

Thanks for your post
