Detachment is the best for YOU--

It's time to forget your worries about HIS reaction to your behavior.

That's what recovery is all about for us "friends and family" of A's.

Detaching and doing for ourselves.

The best thing you can do is NOT react to his mood swings. Go do something else. Go to another room, etc.

If he gets angry- then go grocery shopping or clean or something. Ya get the idea. That's the only way to get through this stuff.

Also I recommend al-anon if your not already going. It's a great support group that will help you learn to find peace and serenity whether the alcoholic is drinking or not.

Hugs!!

So sorry you are worried about this-- I do know the feeling. Withdrawals suck- big time. Just remember- they are HIS withdrawals- NOT yours.
