The critical point, for me, was that husband was a normie.

But I know and fully understand that, for the absolute most of us, alcohol cannot be in our homes (normal drinking or not on the part of our spouses, etc.) ; our homes need to be our safe places/safe havens.

I don’t know how I would have achieved sobriety and recovery if my husband were an alcoholic. I honestly don’t.

Sending you love.

Leigh if he had had a few beers it might have been fine. But he was utterly drunk and wouldn't leave me alone. Now I've spoken up and received a barrage of abuse. He had a lot to say about my participation here too which was very hurtful indeed. I couldn't ever repeat some of the things he said (the morning after stone cold sober)
It touches a raw nerve when I refer to the home as mine but that fact is that it is. My house. My girls. My life. My choice. Harsh to some but utterly necessary for me.
Now he is asleep after what looks like too much sun but who knows?

JoJo, I hope that your man comes to a true realization of how badly this affects you. You absolutely deserve his support.

I love my husband so very much but I am not sure that I could live under the same roof with him if he were an alcoholic.

Yep let's head out. We've had two days sun, thats enough for one year ~ my vampire-like white skin is kinda starting to smoke up, and I wish people here would put more clothes on...

Sun is fun.
Snow - less so.

Sunshine is turning me into a creative genius :) xxx

Hahaha lol Poetry eh? This thread is so posh.

Kenton is
Bent on

That’s a rhyme that’s going nowhere!

WeaverBird 06-27-2018 11:20 AM

Oh JoJo, I love you honey. What a silly moo: I am joking around when you need my love and support. (That poem alone is going to make you weep.)

Don't argue about it when the emotion is still running high will you my lovely? xxxxxxxxxx

Babs1234 06-27-2018 11:35 AM

I feel your pain.
Hugs to you

Hi Babs :wave:

Count me in!

Went fishing this morning. When I got home I had to back my boat and trailer into the garage. It’s not s straight shot in. It’s like backing a trailer through a serpentine course. Usually it’s no problem. Not today. It was very problematic today! I think it took about ten tries to get it in without hitting anything. Yes the air was blue!

Did someone mention winter? Bring it on!

Congrats to today’s celebrants and all who are sober today! Time to burn some frustation off with a bicycle ride.

WeaverBird 06-27-2018 12:00 PM

Come and join me and Neo north of the wall jsm for 9 year winter. We won't even need a coat.

Neoo 06-27-2018 12:14 PM

On my way :abcq:

WeaverBird 06-27-2018 12:17 PM

Ha ha ha!!

So much poetic talent in one place,
Vampires...sun worshippers - we're all ace!
I love every person on this thread.....
But now I'm sunburnt and need to go to bed.

Pesky sun. I love it but I can't handle it. Need to toughen up tho as I'm coming to Orlando on 8 August Leigh for 3 weeks!! And if I think it's hot here......We're all getting so excited... kids are counting the sleeps. Would be absolutely fabulous to meet you Leigh and Suze and Goat. It will be like meeting celebrities.... I'll probably get all shy and trip over my feet or something. Stay strong Jo Jo - love you loads. Off to find aftersun - goodnight xxxxx

SoberLeigh 06-27-2018 01:34 PM

I may be able to catch up with you at the end of the month! Exciting!!!!!

WeaverBird 06-27-2018 01:50 PM

See you at 3 am Neo for a cup of tea and some moonbathing. It’s full moon tonight as well.
