Chin up, Newme. There's been some real tough love on this thread, but the advice has been excellent. Find the strength within yourself.
I'm a single woman, so had no hubby to either criticise or enable my drinking or support or sabotage my sobriety. It has obviously been up to me from the get-go. I used to think it was a blessing actually to be on my own and not have to consider someone else in all this. Now I think it really doesn't matter. Achieving sobriety is always an inside job.
I believe it runs in my family too....my father abused alcohol but stopped when i was born and was able to drink normally later in his life so I didn't grow up with an alcoholic parent. I have an uncle who drinks daily all day....and cousins who abuse alcohol....but out of them all...I think I'm the worst case :/ Anyway thank you for sharing and for the encouragement I need...as well as the truth! Congrats on your sobriety...I hope to get there too 🙏
