I gather your spouse is still drinking? Is he supportive of your decision, or is he waiting for you to come back around?
Could be time for a conversation with him, if you haven’t had one, about your resolve to not drink, and how these visiting, drinking friends could compromise it.
You should guard your sobriety.
It’s hard won.
Thank you for the response. My husband is still drinking which makes things a bit harder for me, but I am still adamant on my decision to stop drinking. I have talked to him about my decision to be sober and while he supports it, he doesn’t seem to take it as seriously as I am. He feels that I don’t have a “drinking problem” because I don’t fit the criteria of what he sees in his mind as an “alcoholic”. I know I have a problem when I drink and whether he agrees or not, I am well aware that the best thing for me is to be sober.
