Alright. We have talked about being sober, great sleep, falling asleep, taking it one day at a time, etc. Now I am starting to face the underlying issues. The things that I have not faced up to that I have ignored, brushed under the rug per say.
Since my divorce over two years ago, I have felt out of control, hence leading to my drinking a lot. Dealing with relationship issues, which added to my drinking. Dealing with financial issues, leading to more drinking and of course all I did was drink to forget it all and didn't really dealwith it.
So now, I am trying to start dealing with all this stuff. I know I can't do it all at once. But today was a prime example. one of the financial items that I let go, my car insurance, caught up with me today. I rear ended someone. And now I am going to pay more. An expensive lesson, I got insurance going right away on my car and am trying to look at what else I have ignored.
Well, now my BF is pissed because he says I need to grow up and take care of my Sh@t. I am trying, but like I said I can't do it all at once, and to be honest. I forgot about the insurance. Cause I wanted to.
He doesn't understand the whole can't deal with it all which is why I drank and all this **** piled up and I am trying to sort through it all. How do I ask for his patience when he is frustrated.
Obviously me getting my finances under control is important for our future. But it's only been two weeks man and I am not made of money. I work two jobs and have two kids. One in hockey. So it's always tight, you know.
Anyone with some experience here, maybe some advice on communicating with him about this?
