Are you affected by a loved one who’s an addict?

C’mon over here and tell us about. It might make you feel better.

Tell me about. I been bitching about this for 2 years.
I started this thread just for this reason.

And you know what? Deep down I know I do feel better. When I keep working on myself. But some days I’m fucking sick of it. And they get to keep drinking right? And it sucks and it hurts.

But you know what? The truth is. I’m ok. I got lots of tools. I focus on my sobriety. I’ve written it a thousand times. If I’m focusing on my wife’s drinking. I’m not focusing on my sobriety. I’ve never been able to change anyone in my life. Has anyone? If you can, tell me your secret. God knows I’ve tried and failed. But I can change how I look at things. And that starts with gratitude. Everyday.

I can take care of myself. I matter. And my pets. That’s about it.
After 38 years of drinking together. I can and I will live with a spouse that’s an alcoholic. And I will continue to be sober. Because I don’t drink anymore. And it feels great! She cannot put me back on that merry go round. Only I can do that. And I don’t have enough time left in my life for another recovery. This is the one for me.
Fucken aye that felt good.
I got to come here more often.
