A return to sobriety
This has been a very difficult year which I only made worse by a return to daily alcohol consumption. My mother died after months of illness and my husband was diagnosed with cancer. 16 days sober and the best part is that my husband is sober also. So, no alcohol in the house at last! He always was a proponent of "learning to drink normally" and I thought it was possible. For me, it is not. Not any more.
I'm finding that our relationship is very different. At first, it was very uncomfortable - I don't think we've ever been totally sober together for any length of time - but, it is becoming easier as the days go by. Can anyone relate to this transition? If so, any tips, pitfalls, advice?
