So I think I will make another commitment here to you as it worked well for me last night. My soon to be ex is making it impossible for me to see my son.... Angry at him for wanting to go. It's stupid because my son leaves for college on three weeks but my husband is a pretty mean guy... I feel so bad for my kid but his dad does this every weekend to him. Suddenly finds work that has to be done. Is cold and controling to manipulate my son because everyone tiptoes around this garbage. I never should have allowed the control and the fear. I told my son if he wanted or could go to the movies to text. I told him I'd come get his stuff and he could move. It breaks my heart. So I will go to a movie and not drink one damn drop of alcohol. The only thing it did for me was allow me to ignore what has happened to my children because of my cowardly approach.

I am sorry to hear of your difficulties. Good idea to post here and way to go on not drinking under stress.

How are you today ckoures?

Thanks for your support. He won. In that I did not see my son. But I won the bigger picture in that I went to a movie, ate dinner, read and slept and am now going to church. And I didn't drink. So I will see my son in time. But that man, the one I have given so much of me up for? He might make me cry and feel ******, but he does not get to win the fight for my life.

That's right ckoures, way to go

Yes! You will always win if you don't pick up that first drink. Keep doing the right thing and trust that one day things will sort themselves out.
