How to explain that you are entering recovery
Hello all
I am 3 days sober and attended my first AA meeting last night with the actual intent of stopping drinking. I am honest with myself and truly want to recover.
As I have said on other places I have posted, I am in a long term relationship with a fellow Alcoholic. He has been in recovery before but is currently in relapse.
We currently live in different cities due to work related things so I am not worried about being triggered by his habits during the week. We only see one another weekends right now. And this weekend we won't be seeing one another.
Anyway, I haven't discussed with him yet that I am entering recovery. How do I explain it to him?
Also, I am codependent so those tendencies trigger my drinking. Does anyone have any good resources on how to temper codependency?
My codependency is a direct threat to my recovery. Can anyone relate?
