How to stop drinking when significant other has no intention of quitting?
Hmmmmm, you dont drink. If ya dont drink ya dont get drunk!!!! Its actually quite simple, but it entails some hard and heavy truths about ourselves. All I know, is alcohol and drinking is but a symptom. If all you want to do is put down the bottle and not change anything else, I feel sorry. There is so much upside, and potential to live a great, happy, joyful and serene life then to just pin all your hopes on just not drinking, white knuckling it for the rest of time. But if that is all you want, then thats all you want. I guess in my confusion of being a newcomer, thats all I wanted. However over time as I dug deeper into the program, and looked at my hidden springs in my brain, The promises came true for me in AA. The more good things that came around, the more I was hooked on giving up my will, ego, self-centeredness and helping others. Trying to find a God of my own understanding. Its a freeing feeling.
