Look at this way Hoop....we may never catch them, but the ratio will get closer and closer as time goes on.

Hi everybody. Long work day today.
I've been invited to an event tonight and I really should go show my face... Except I'm so fatigued. I promised myself I'd get out and do more things with my peers, and I've been doing fine, except for the fatigue part.
I used to just have a few drinks and I'd wake right up. Argh

Hey Uninvited,
Don't beat yourself up over a brain fart. We're in recovery. Our brains are scrambled eggs, not a smooth French omelette yet!
I can't even ever remember when I check in to the 24 hour sign up page, I usually have to go back and check three times. Every day.
Don't beat yourself up, doing simple mistakes sober is way better than doing catastrophic mistakes drunk.

My husband is tired and has allergies. I haven't mentioned this before but he has some anger issues and when he doesn't like something he gets really loud, acts like I've slapped his sister or something, and floods out anything I have to say. He. Is. Always. Right. His level of respect for me has everything to do with what mood he is in.
Having a very tough day. My head is ringing.

Sorry about your snafu Uninvited. I hate how it feels to screw up, I'm really hard on myself. I hope you don't beat yourself up about it too much. Everyone does stuff like that, it's all in how you handle it though. Time will ease the sting

I'm sorry, Plenny. I know what living with someone like that is like.
I'm actually in the process of extricating myself today and tomorrow. Tired of this s*%. It really dampens the buzz of recovery. My case may be more extreme than yours because there has been physical violence. But even the constant quiet rage freeze-out and the unspoken lack of permission to talk about anything that may actually have to do with our feelings is enough for me to say, toodleoo jerk face.
My thoughts are with you. That unspoken tension sure has a way of filling up the whole house, doesn't it?

I could see peace instead of this

Shhh...I'm thinking about skipping out of work early to go see that new George Clooney movie "Gravity". George in space....yum. (Sorry men...just had to say it.)

Seriously, though, I'm meeting my husband for coffee after work today, and I'll have time to window shop before that. Two little things I like to do.

Plenny, although showing up to engagements is important, so is self-care! I'm doing the 90 meetings in 90 days, but Tuesday is my hardest day and I chose to stay in. I also spent a lot of time on SR and called my sponsor instead. I'm all for balancing self care with responsibility! 
Hooped, coograts on 30 days!! Woo hoo!
Love this thread, glad I found it! I'm in it to win it y'all!

My husband is a pill but we have a mostly great relationship and are very compatible. But he comes from a family where he was the golden boy, and being wrong is a sign of weakness. So that just sucks to be in a relationship with sometimes!
He is not physically abusive but he yells and drowns me out and stonewalls. He's just impossible.
I'm sorry you were in that situation, I have been there baby!
Thanks for the support and good luck!

It's good to see you around!
