I know it's that time of the week again! Thank you for reaching out to me-I really appreciate it! I imagine I will be joining you tonight-but maybe I will finally get started on one of my little mosaic projects. Everything is ready to go, all I need is some grout. Tired from work this week,too. Maybe I will hang outside on my swing! How is your weekend looking?

Hi my other half doesn't live with me but I've been trying so hard to keep off the drink (made it to day 7) he still has a key to my house (after splitting up) I felt positive about not drinking last night I work a very high pressured job and with the trying not to drink I thought ok we'll see where this goes. After an 18hr shift I come home and we'd agreed to see each other so I walked the 20 mins home and came in to see he was drinking beer on my sofa and I was so angry! it caused immense arguments the air was so bad you could cut a knife through it he's knows I have issues with drink.... it hurt that he showed a lack of empathy..

This is not good for your continued sobriety-coming home to him drinking at your place. Because he doesn't live there can you make home a "drink free" zone? At least that way you would have a safe place to go when you need to. You don't need someone doing that to you in your own home. Hope this helps!

I think I will. I am going to hang out here on SR.
Hi, Earthsteps and Everyone-Today is 60 days for me. I wanted to tell someone, but didnt want to make a big deal of it. Just want to have this drinking behind me and be done with it. I struggle with thinking that I am in recovery-far as I am concerned I did my share of drinking already and it doesn't have a place in my future. Thanks for letting me share the big 60-longest I have ever gone in I bet 20 years! Feeling good and loving it!
