So after my stressful morning (fight with husband) he called and wants to go to dinner and talk to make everything better. I know I have got to I deal with my problems but I am just really tired tonight (as always).
Is what normally happens when we do this, is we go eat and talk, but just about superficial stuff. No plan, no goals.
We need to make a plan together as to what we need to do with our adult children living at home; talk about him being a workaholic (80rs a week); and him not showing affection to our children/grandchildren. And I'm sure he would bring up issues about me sleeping so much.
I think part of it is that I have so many things I want to work on that I don't know where to start. THat darn "all or nothing" thinking.
Obviously there is more to the story but I am hoping to get some advice here.
Thanks Friends!

They are good men, have responsible jobs and both make very good money but I know if they continue on the path they are on they will end up with alcohol being a central part of their lives, robbing them of everything else of value.

Alright so those who are nervous about having a sober weekend, I'll see you all in chat, yes? I know many of us are in different time zones, but still go if you need to. I'm certain I'll pop in because I'm nervous too. Is it weird to be comfortably nervous? Reading about AV in this post really put it in perspective for me. Gave me something to think about and left me feeling comfortably nervous. I'll get through this weekend because those urges and cravings aren't me. I dig that perspective and I think it will help me get past those moments. I'm hopeful.
