Thanks for this- got me thinking. I am not convinced that avoiding situations where there is alcohol is the way for me to go though.
I did not drink for over a week now.
I used drink in the evenings at home with my husband, watching tv. He still drinks every night.
The last time I had a decent stretch of sobriety, I didn't sit in my own living room or watch tv for three months. It became this big thing that I was frightened of. It was miserable and unsustainable.
This time, I have done things a bit differently. On Saturday, we chose a family film and watched it while eating pizza. My son and I had rose lemonade which is a treat and my husband drank alcohol.
Think I am saying, its not just as easy for everyone to avoid alcohol situations, and like Dls2041, I am open to ideas for those people, who live in a house with drink.
