Thought I could handle it.....what a joke!!!

So what a surprise....back here again! I thought I could handle it, like we all done at some point but no, starting to hide stuff from my husband & I've been getting drunk about twice a week, really hate myself right now! Husband has pretty much said he doesn't think he can out up with it anymore...i just feel lost & it's all my fault...when it comes to drink I just find it too hard to say no!!!!

Hi LouLou

Welcome back - are you still drinking or have you stopped.

Hi Loulou. Sorry for what you're going through. What resources have you used in the past to quit?

To hard to say no? Or too easy to say yes?

You struggled before your marriage to get sober, and struggling after. If you want your marriage to continue, drinking is going to have go. Wouldn't you say? And to do that you are going to have to do some of the things you've been avoiding, like a structured program of recovery.

Maybe try making quitting drinking your top priority in your life for a few months. Could save your marriage and many other things.

I needed to stay away from slippery places and slippery people until I felt secure in my sobriety. Like people said to me, I needed to be willing to make changes. Because if nothing changes, then nothing will change.

Glad you're back. Have you thought about making a plan?

Following up on Berrybean's question, there is a very good thread on 'plans'. I'll link it in a moment.

Welcome back!!!

Nothin' like a good failed attempt at moderation to help re-align the choice of sobriety!!
