One step forward, two steps back! Well yesterday was my husbands 3 years and 11 month sobriety date. Yes, I am so very proud of him that I still keep up with the months. Most of you know that my husband 7 years ago suffered a horrible jet ski accident and has been for the most part severly depressed, stays in complete pain all the time. Well this weekend we had plans, I work two jobs, take care of the comings and goings of 3 teenagers, basically I do it all. We went to a friends house for a tailgate party before homecoming this past Friday, and from Saturday morning until Sunday night, I couldn't function. I guess I let his depression, set my tone for the whole weekend. I so upset with myself. I usually get up and move on without him, and I did when it came to the grocery store. We are going through so much in all directions of our lives, maybe it was my body telling me I needed the break, the rest. I watch as my eldest (son) has the attitude. I pray everyday that he'll remember how stupid acting and abusive his father was and never picks up the bottle. But that's where my 3 C's come into play. I just feel as though when I am gaining ground, it doesn't take much for the disease to shove me right back down. |
Yes it can feel like you are being put back. Don't allow it! Keep your ground. That's when you need to lean on your higher power and refill your strength. ;) I hope you have a better day today |
