Boyfriend won't move on from my recent binge
So, I got drunk on Friday night and it was a doozy, shots in a bar, an afterparty , fell down and got mystery bruises on my arms, legs and, posterior. This episode was outside of my boyfriend's presence. I told him last night that I am done with these binges, that I am planning to use AVRT, but that I did get drunk Friday and that while I regret doing so, I am eager to move on and get myself together - that I will not binge again once the bruises are gone like I have in the past. Since then he's been scolding me for getting drunk and keeps asking me for the gory details as far as the origin of each bruise, what time this or that occurred during the binge (like I have a clear memory), and asking over and over "What were you thinking!" Shouting and slamming doors.
I understand him being skeptical and acknowledge that my drunken behavior has been embarrassing to him in the past but it's so upsetting, stressful and demoralizing to sit here being shouted at and berated when I am trying hard to stop beating myself up about my mistake. I want so badly to move forward. Does anyone have any advice on how to explain this to him in "normalese" language?
The upside is I have no desire to drink, at least. Sheesh...
