Hi everybody. Another day sober for me. Day 6. It still is not easy but I am determined and I am working on a plan. One great thing that has happened is my wife has agreed to quit drinking with me. This came out of the blue and I am pretty stoked about that. That has been a hurdle for me on attempts before. Just thought I would share a little bit. Hope all is good.
Luckily enough I had a good sponsor who was able to tell me to leave her off at it that it's only once or twice a week, I even would buy her a bottle the odd time because she was better fun when she had one or two in her.
She never did over do it and I built up a healthy fear of alcohol, you see alcohol is fine in some people but not us, we survived for 7 years happily married like this but I became very depressed (lack of meetings and isolation) and we split, then i drank.
So do this for yourself mate and no one else because if she drinks that will be your excuse to pop open a bottle and bam back in the **** again. peace and love brother.
I agree Paddy. Alcohol is not for us. At least not for me. I am still hanging strong. I have no cravings and I am thankful. I am 8 days today. Still not feeling good. I hope this will get better. It's my anniversary today. My wife and I went for dinner and both had no drinks. I think that is a first on our anniversary. I am proud of that. Hope everybody is doing well.
I just saw your post Snowvelvet. I can agree with a lot of what you said. I drank to get rid of anxiety and it just brings more. I wish I wasn't so hard headed and in a constant state of denial. I might of sobered up a long time ago. I am trying now so I guess that is what counts now.
