My husband is going to be gone from morning till near midnight tonight and tomorrow for rehearsals. This is my biggest trigger. Alone with the kids all day, stressed, bored and a bit of jealousy that he is still continuing his classical music career while I stay at home raising children. Wow. I never realized those feelings of jealousy and bitterness before. It is such a relief to indentify what I am feeling. He is playing the Shostakovich string quartet and a bunch of really awesome symphonies over the next few (busy) months.
I am sticking close to SR over the next couple of days.
Happy sober Monday.
Canguy, that says so much more about her than you. Being around abstainers used to make me feel bad. I knew I had alcohol issues and seeing that it was possible to conquer addiction made me really uneasy because I wasn't ready yet. A lot of people turn to anger as the go-to emotion when feelings are overwhelming. Anger is a protective response. Hope the visit gets better for you.
