Oh no my husband came back drunk while I was having trouble sleeping.
I really don't like it but I don't want to be a fishwife either. Especially because this could trigger a fight in the middle of the night.
I will think before I speak and remain respectful even though I am annoyed. It's not worth a fight.

Ok he's alright. I know it sounds bad but I feel like posting here before a possible altercation keeps me conscious and I feel I can approach the situation calmly.
I think I've been apprehensive because of the fighting last week. I've been worried that we're leaving paradise and getting back to our old resentments.
I think we're ok

Not sure if I mentioned this before, but my husband is pretty much my only family. When we have conflict it is a very real trigger for me. It's like the purest form of Loneliness, concentrated. I am sort of trained to believe all relationships are conditional and very finicky, so it's very hard for me to let go sometimes.

Well, it appears that no conflict shall cast it's shadow in this situation. Since I didn't give him a hard time for drinking (I did the math before he left: night out with the guys, Sabbath, etc), and he didn't come home looking for me to have a problem with him, we won't have anything to resolve. We didn't take the bait.
It's a victory every time we act like calm, nonreactionary people.
I'm pretty happy that even though he came home a bit blousy, he's not being lousy.

Morning everyone!
I made it into another month for the first time instead of starting over again in a new month class. Woohoo!
This month I'm going to start getting myself together physically and start eating properly. I've given myself some slack up till now but you can't swap an alcohol addiction for chunky kit kat's and topics!
This month my goal is to lose at least half a stone and start buying myself a new smarter wardrobe instead of wearing trackie bottoms and old t-shirts.
Good luck everyone this month and look out for those April Fools!

Just ignore Toddle. You handled that very well! AND- YOU DID NOT DRINK!
Take a deep breath- maybe a walk? Do you go to AA? If so- do you have a number you can call to talk to?
You did great- a drunk you would have continued firing back incoherent messages (at least I would have!!)

Oooooooo, we're in our new home.
I like what you've done with it Dee. Very welcoming
Just as well, cos i'm going to stay here for a very long time.
Maybe, because it's the first day, we should have a roll call. I don't think we've lost too many on the way.
I'll start it with my next post.
Please continue it. Thanks.
Ps
(Just copy and paste the previous rollcall entry and add your own.)

Ha ha! Thanks Dee- for a moment I thought I was hallucinating!
So day 10 for me. Wow. Double freakin Digits.
I had therapy last night. Then walked outside and called my sponsor and kept her on the phone for 1/2 and hour. Then came home and poured my heart out to my husband who pretty much just laid there stunned (he is sick and was lying in bed trying to rest). I don't know where this sudden burst of talkativeness is coming from - not like me at all. Well- except if I was 3 sheets to the wind!
My son (he's 2) woke up crying and screaming at 4am -must have been a nightmare. It felt great to cuddle and sing him back to sleep without worrying if I reeked of booze.
Ok - I should probably shut up now. I feel like I'm rambling again !!
(Who am I??!!)
