tuff day.
Its been a ****** day and i have been having a hard time staying sober,so far so good.I happen to drive by my wife place(seperated) and i seen a friends truck parked there all night by the looks of it.I know he had to come into town for a appointment today and we had a pretty bad fight a while ago and i have decided to forget about him for my sobriety.He was jest a so called drinking friend.Anyway the things that have been going threw my head have been pretty bad.My wife knows how i feel about him and she let him spent the night.What a slap in the face.So i got mad when i got home and asked if this guy had spent the night and she said yes so i blew up at her and told her to file for a devorse.Thank god so far my higher power has been there for me because i,ve sure needed it.I also have aA.A meeting tonite and i guess maybe i should phone my old sponser.Thanks for letting me vent its helped.

It is not a fault to be hurt. Sadness is not a character defect. That would press all my buttons. I don't want to tell you what to do, but I do know a technique if your feelings become overwhelming. Write three good things about each of them. Wish them well. Know that you will be well in the future.

Dave, Staying sober is a hard thing to do. You my friend are doing it. Dave you are staying sober. Like Macket says you can control your reactions. Chosing to abstain from the drink is the best choice. It will help . Choosing to drink will only make matters much worse for you now. Stay strong through this. Hang tough Dave.

WOW! Anyone could have justified drinking over that...well we justify everything but you know what i mean...and you didn't. GOOD FOR YOU! You WILL get through this, and you are doing the right thing by going to a meeting and calling your sponsor...have to say it again NOTHING is so bad that drinking won't just make it WORSE. You will get through this and be HAPPIER for it...when the time is right, be patient, pray and keep coming here. We are so hard wired to drink at the drop of a hat - never MIND when something like this happens! So you are doing so GREAT!
well done for using the tools - keep coming back!

Having such a bad day myself. Called up partner, and he had a nice cosy little conversation with his ex today...the same ex that bad mouths me. When I became angry, he accused me of wanting to control everything he says and does....
I don't know...I feel I am going insane. She left him for another man, and he still mollycoddles her. She has dictated that the house goes in his name only. I feel that if I'm to contribute to the mortgage the house should go in both of our names - am I wrong in feeling this? Am I meant to be happy when he is nice to her and, gives her money when she asks for it - that is in addition to alimony and child-support! She has it much better than we do... Damn it - I feel like a drink....
