Early recovery is a tough time for people in a relationship too, Melissa.

I don't know what your relationship is like and what approach is better - you may find down the track that other peoples drinking won't be such a red button issue.

but for now, I do know one of the things I had to learn was people were going to be annoyed with me when I stood up for what I wanted and needed.

I used to be very complaint.

The changes in me took some people back, but I never regretted them because I knew I need to make those changes - for me.

It was difficult to sit with peoples displeasure, but I got over it - and so did they
