look at my date man....yup....almost 4 years
i even tried acupuncture....ha
kinda makes you relaxed but ...no score
music and acupuncture kinda made me sleepy though
best advice I ever heard is from Mr Dee....he said it was very simple
You just ....don't drink
All the answers I've tried....only thing I haven't done is rehab but I sure do seem to need it.
I had a addiction counselor...she kicked me out of office for being pissed at 9 am appointment.
Escorted me to the door.
Wow, so was that a wake up call?
No way man.
AA?
I read that damn book from cover to cover ...twice
never had a sponsor ....but I did it myself....did those steps myself...prob not a good idea. guess I didn't just get it.
but ...hey...i"m a big time loner and don't really get along much with people.
But...all we gotta do ...is just not have that first one.
Dee god bless him...best advice ever....better than that freaking BB crap and everything else.

It seems like every time I miss a meeting, I have an alcoholic dream! I haven't had a pot dream in a while though...
Dreamed today that I offered to fill someone's beer with a tap (which was magically in the kitchen) and the tap wouldn't stop so I reached for another glass to prevent it from spilling onto the floor and it took a few glasses before it stopped.
I will spare you all the details of how delicious that beer looked.
A debate then ensued in my head as to whether or not I should drink one of the glasses. It was thanksgiving holiday. I drank it.
I haven't had beer since AUGUST, which was cheap and canned and looked nothing like the one in my dream!

I'd totally let you stay here, but my place is a mess!

I'm not confident you'll get much rest here either. But we would have fun!

It's like..ok....she screams at me to quit my drinking
With a can of beer in one hand and a smoke in the other
Now..does that help the situation?....naw....not a bit
She just went totally ballistic at me.....
I actually find her quite scary
best just to shut up and be quiet I guess
She will never admit to having a prob with booze.
Yells at me if we don't have enough...and oh man...we run out of her ciggies?
absolute fit
anyway.....she totally lost it....I'm actually quite worried about her
guess I'm not the only alcoholic looking for some positive action
but ....this really hurts
what the hell do I do?
Obviously I cannot continue living with an active alcoholic
The things she throws at me....absolutely sting....they hurt
But...she sees no reason for change
She just like toally lost it...with a beer in one hand and a smoke in the other
and their like 8 bucks a pack up here
Screaming at me....crying.....broke my heart actually
Baaa....maybe we can both go to rehab huh? lol
I really don't know....but this? ....can't continue

You can only deal with your own sobriety. Make your sobriety and the recovery program necessary for it your top priority. Then you can assist your wife but not beforehand. Remember that she needs to want to stop drinking herself, you cant do that for her.

Hooped, have you ever thought about getting a therapist? I know you live out in the boonies but so what, a nice drive once a week around therapy might clear your head. I saw a therapist last year when I was very unhappy with my husband and not sure what I wanted to do. This might be a good next step for you for both marital issues and sobriety. I'm so sorry you had such an ugly interaction. Are you sober tonight?

Thanks Brooksie and LG for the offers! LG I have a house full of critters but no birds! I actually love chickens and would love to have a few. Kiddo loves ducks and would probably flip out if we had one.
Kiddo refused to go to bed until 10, my dad is sick and we've been having to nurse him all week, and my mom was flipping out about several things, my parents make my husband cranky (which drives me nuts bc I have had to put up with insane things - so what my dad leaves the seat up, for example one of my addicted in laws left the car running in the closed garage when kiddo and I were visiting and I discovered it late at night before carbon monoxide killed all of us) and my mom is so insecure she picks up on everything and magnifies them. I don't know why I let it surprise me because every time they visit this dynamic happens. Not to mention throw midterms in this and I'm about to go nuts. Oh well. I still love having them here and husband has been very good overall.
