Something New

Well, something new for ME not AH- He decided once again to try sobriety (with no AA- or anything else) He lasted almost two weeks this time. Last night we had a very calm conversation. He told me he's tired of lying to me- that he wants to drink and he doesn't want to pretend that he doesn't any more. I said - fine- . If you want to drink, have at it. But for the first time I set a REAL boundary. I told him the first sign of verbal abuse, wrecking our home ect... not only will he go to jail- but all his stuff will be on the front yard. I told him I am DONE with all the abuse- to me and my stuff. I fell pretty good about that. He said fine, that he understands-- we'll see

Keep us posted Ellima.
Sobriety without support...hmmm. I'm here cuz I'm codependent...I'm on the AA forum ..cuz I'm an alcoholic. I don't know how much your AH drinks...at what level of alcoholism he's at..but at 3 weeks sober for me...WOW...I'm wrangling emotions (that I previously drowned in alcohol) like I'm riding a mechanical bull on full tilt.
I hope I'm wrong, but I'm thinking your in for a helluva bumpy ride...that will lead right back to the bottle.
I got so sick of my emotions I wanted to drink so bad last night...just to dull them...silence them! Instead I went to a meeting and got an A-ttitude A-adjustment.
Blessings and luck,
Tracey

You deserve a Pat on the back for setting your boundry....

I always stuggle with sticking with it, but in the case of abuse I have no doubt you will keep the line drawn.

He was sober when you spoke to him...when he is drunk he may not take those things so lightly. Just make sure you STICK to your boundries.
