My spouse drinks too but not always daily.

I really had a huge problem with it for awhile, but lately I've been staying on my side of the street and that has allowed me much more peace around the situation. He has a much right to choose his lifestyle as I do.

We can't control what they do, only if we want them in our lives or not.

Sounds drastic, perhaps, but if it was a choice of sobriety or him, I think it would be tough because as much as I love him, I don't think I would survive a relapse of any real significance.

You have to love yourself before you can really love someone else. That's something I've taken a lifetime to discover. Still haven't absorbed it into my soul yet, but I'm working on it.
