You go girl!!

MeAndOnlyMe

I'm sure every single person on SR will be here for you all night long if they are able. Reach out.

MeAndOnlyMe

Exactly.

Write a letter and never send it, type an email and never press a button, write a journal entry and keep it for yourself...or don't - use any of these media as personal and descriptive outlets for you, whatever the follow-up steps you choose.

Kimberly... I doubt your husband is deliberately trying to sabotage you but it sounds like he might be in a bit of denial about your problem (mine is too.)

I have accepted that at this point in time, the people who are going to support me in this particular area are the people on here, not my husband. But, my husband at least understands enough not to offer me a beer! If yours can't get why that is not a good thing to do, I agree that you might have to have a talk.

Hang in there and remember we are all here for you.

Oh h3ll no. I'll tell you all day to let the man have his beer, that your quit is your quit, and that the universe does not revolve around you. But his offering you a beer is just . . . no. Not just no, but heyull no.

Journal tonight if that helps. However, I think you need to speak with him about this matter. When you believe you can refrain from putting his testicles in a vice, talk to him about your strong desire to quit alcohol. Tell him this is something you seriously want for yourself. Tell him you'd appreciate him not offering you any more beer because it's hard to resist. Stand up for yourself.

There's a big difference between "live and let live" and "you silly girl."

Same here. My husband would never have the temerity to offer me an alcoholic beverage. Besides suffering the wrath of lildawg, he's probably afraid I'd get drunk and accidentally burn down the house. Then, there I'd be, standing on top of the ashes, blunt in one hand and scotch in the other. I'd say, "Dude, I couldn't get the lighter to work so I could light my blunt, and, then . . . "




I am so sorry you're going through this stress on your second day. Keep at it. It really is worth it.

It is like having a drug dealer in your head sometimes. And yes he is a clever little SOB. I can't tell you how many times I found myself in the neighborhood of the liquor store, with just enough cash and time to do something stupid. I am just not that organized a person, heck I've been looking for my cell phone for two days.

For me, having someone else's beer sitting there in the fridge nearly always contributed to me continuing drinking.
I'd suggest that you get it out of there. If your husband wants to drink, perhaps suggest that he keep the alcohol hidden from you.
