Welcome 
I managed 8 days last week then drank for 3. Now on day 2 again but feeling really positive. The support here is fantastic. Just remember to keep posting, especially if you get a wobble. I'm also reading rational recovery and finding that I can relate to it well. Good luck you can do this

Welcome. It was a long time coming for me. Swore I would quit every morning on my way to work just to end up hammered at the end of the day. I can relate about the picking fights with your partner. I didn't remember most of them. I actually started to write down some of the things that were said when we argued just to find out I couldn't read my drunken writing the next day. I knew I had to quit but didn't have the courage to do so. The thought of never drinking again terrified me. My tipping point was a five day stay in the hospital with a life threatening condition. Have not had a drink since. 80 days tomorrow. I don't think I had anything more than a few days sober since my teens. I am adjusting the best I can and trying to figure out who the sober me really is. My kids say they like the new cool dad.
