Hi Cali - thanks for the thread

I never post relationship advice just don't drink support!! It almost like medical advice - I run from it.

In general since getting sober, when I have discord in my marriage of 32 years I hit pause and consider how the way I react will help or hinder my emotional growth in sobriety. Spewing venom for me can facilitate an emotional hangover as bad or worse than any alcohol related hangover I've encountered.

I've appreciated your interaction here recently on SR and good for you posting about the state of your mind, that's important and laudable

For me, I'm steadily grasping living life on life terms. There are times where a thought trounces through my head about alcohol but I simply choose not to react to it and let it pass. I don't drink anymore. I have found other solutions especially when resentments/anger crop up. I use other tools than booze to solve issue. I tried to drink at her for a long time - thank God she's still here!

Keep us updated, please - and as always remember,
Alcohol is the real buzz killer...........
