Taking5

If you don't take the first drink you can't get drunk.

You have to find ways to not act on the impulse to take a drink. Distract yourself somehow. Worst comes to shove next time drive half the country is you need to, away from that first drink.

Without the first there is not second, and the 24 following ;-)

You will find a way to stay sober, I have complete confidence in you.

I always get so wrapped up with having "just one or two" with my husband. We do it all the time. But usually HE is all good with truly wanting one or two while inside I want more

Maybe a good thing would be to explain to him that it might be preferable to NOT have a "few". Can you do other things as a couple that doesn't involve drinking? Go to a museum, a walk, fishing, ping pong?

He truly needs to understand that your relationship with Alcohol is not like his.

I don't mean to sound like I am "smart". I don't have the dilemma of being in a relationship with someone that can control their drinking, I'm single so sitting in a different seat than you.

But will come a time, after at least a year sober, that I will have to start dating. Ho crap I can't even remotely think of this right now ;-)

Be kind to yourself, and find a way with your partner to live health.

Blessings

My husband is very aware if my inability into moderate. He comes from an alcoholic family so he knows the signs. He moderates me. Last night he was gone doing Army stuff and I lost control
