I wish things were better for me at home at this point. My wife and kids rarely converse with me. I feel like a stranger and do not belong here. Did anyone else go through something like this and does it get better? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice.

Hi freeofit

for us 60 days seems a lifetime but often for our family and friends it's just two months - two months out of many years of drinking.

Things will get better - and for a lot of us, trust and forgiveness do come if we hold up our end of the bargain and stay in recovery

If your family is still around, thats a very good sign freeofit

Congrats on your milestone

What Dee said!

Keep doing the right things, not drinking and working on you - it is indeed hard to reconcile why "those around us aren't celebrating what we're doing" as a friend of mine says, "but we are actually just starting to behave like NORMAL people so that doesn't really call for a parade in their minds"! Truth.

Great job on 60 days- it does get better IMO and IME - keep going.

I felt the same way. I can only echo what Dee said, it takes time. Trust and healing will happen if you keep going. My relationship with my kids is improving on-going. But my relationship with my wife, is fine, as it is. It was broke before I started drinking, so I don’t expect more than it is. If you and your wife have a hearts bond, staying sober will create positive things. Stay strong, post, believe, and know it is worth it!!

Give yourself more sober time. Make your actions a reflection of who you are now. Hug your wife and kids. Stay sober and it should get better.
