Had my in-laws round for dinner last night. I'm having problems at work and yesterday I put in an 11 hour shift. I'm feeling exhausted most of the time anyway as I'm not sleeping well. There was wine at the meal but I didn't struggle too much to get by without it. By the end of the evening I was exhausted, only to be told by my wife, "Well, you're not much fun to be around right now". What does she want? A marching band? Man, that was a real downer. Not sure she gets that this is really hard.
Day 9 here...
Sometimes we have to cut our loved ones the most slack when we feel they deserve it the least.
Congratulations on your sober evening!
