Hi,
I am new to this website. I checked it out a while ago when I was coming to terms with my situation but am keen now to be more active about my recovery. I have been attending al anon for over a year but not going to that many meetings. I feel I need to up my game and make some decisions.
My partner is in recovery for about the third time in two years. He's working hard at it, lots of meetings, a sponsor, telling family and friends for the first time but I'm worried he may be just a dry drunk at this point and not really in recovery. He is getting a lot of support and admiration for working on this but I am still getting rage and anger my direction and most of what i do seems to be wrong!
I'm much better at filtering it out than I used to be but can easily slip back into the game of blame and arguments and shouting. I really really want to quit all that. I want to be proud of myself and my behavior and ditch all the shame.
So here goes - another new start another commitment to myself. Maybe putting it out there a bit more will help me stick to the plan!
looking forward to sharing and reading and learning.

Welcome Dublin! I think you'll find many people in your same situation on our Friends & Family Forum. You can post anywhere you want to, of course - and it's good that you came here to introduce yourself first. 
We're so glad you found us - you aren't alone with this anymore.

Hi,
Thanks for the welcome I appreciate it and I had been looking around the friends and family forums and it sounded all very familiar to me! Thought I'd follow the suggestion to introduce myself here first. So now with my toes dipped in the water I think I'll have a look around.
Thanks again.
