Hi JTmlk, congratulations on day 9.
I remember my husband got me out of a spot of bother a few times over the years until he stopped being my enabler and got on with his own life. That still didn't stop me from drinking.
Drinking can ruin our lives and others lives and though we know this in our heart of hearts, we can still be manipulated by our AV to think it's ok to have one more drink!
For me, I found I had to just stop. Then I learnt how to live without booze. Without my prop. And it gets easier but with all the rubbish we put in our bodies over the years, it's not a two minute fix.
SR helped me greatly. Just reading people's experiences and knowing someone understood what I was going through, helped me enormously.
Stay close to SR. It soon becomes second nature to not drink. Just like we look right, then left and right again before driving out of a junction. It's Automatic.
