Ruff Conversation
After a day of drinking (but I got my to-do list done), I was confronted by my husband who suggested I might need to go to AA. I tried to be honest and agreeable to him; after all, I certainly wasn't in much of position to argue. Actually, I was relieved to admit my concerns about how out of control my drinking has gotten. He's ticked off to say the least.
There's no trying to hide it from him now. It's out in the open. I need to stop this sh@t. Sucks.

Sounds to me like this is a wonderful opportunity for you.. Now is the perfect time to make your plan, take control, look after yourself, and turn your life in a different, positive, optimistic direction. There is so much to look forward to! .. Your secret is out, and that's a good thing. Now show 'em what ya got! You are stronger than you think.

That kind of conversation sent me to AA for the second time when I was 20 (the first: at 19, in treatment for the first time). I went to the occasional meeting for three months, smoked a lot of pot, never really got sober. Didn't want to be there.
Second conversation like that--another treatment, at...24?--but this was a different partner, and he drank, too. Didn't like me sober, suggested I stick to vodka.
The third time, still another partner, I was 34, and the decision was finally mine. By then, I was choosing relationships based first and foremost on my ability to keep drinking and drugging. I left him, went to treatment, went to AA, did the deal in AA, still in AA, sober since.
Do you want to get sober, or are you just trying to avoid problems at home?
Peace & Love,
