I said no!!
Ok so I know it has only been 2 days without a drink, since my darling husband talked me into drinking "just one drink" which turned into 2 bottles etc. But last night he started on about really needing a drink cos he had had a bad day, and yes I was tempted, but I said no! Who would have thought that I could be strong enough - I feel quite proud of myself

Well done! 
Although I would almost certainly have had a drink anyway, the days when my SO came home with a bottle of wine "after a hard day" always gave me the perfect "excuse" to have a drink*. (*A drink being a bottle of wine at the very least).
In my early days of sobriety I found such a situation really difficult; now the glass of wine my SO is having hardly registers and instead of being obsessed with the next glass I can listen and empathise with what ever it is the day has thrown at her.

Good for you, just some food for thought, when your significant other has a bad day maybe suggest a walk and talk, in my experience it's something I almost have to do vs having a drink, just feel you may both benefit.
Yeah! Baby steps... will then turn into great strides.

Way to go!
My wife doesn't drink, other then a glass of wine occasionally if we are out to a nice dinner. I don't know if I would be able to be sober if she was drinking nightly at the house, bad days or good days. You are an inspiration.

Well done
I have your exact same problem. This is day 4 for both me and Hubby sober. We have tried this before and he always cracks first and drags me back in. Let's be strong and support each other. I so want to be sober.
