Thank u Mike!! Iām proud of him too honestly. He did seem diff to me after I said no. He kept saying he was fine. But sometimes food and good rest is what is needed 
and ya desert sounds like a nice plan. Trying to make tonight fun so that he sees that being clean and sober has many benefits. Thanks Mike for ur support hugs!

Thank you so much!
My husband works long hours and by the time he comes home, itās just a race against the clock to get both kids fed and ready for bed.
The weekends are when we really only have those couple hours at night to spend together, just us.
In the past, it was difficult for me to sit with him while he drank, so Iād go to bed with the kids.
He voiced that he felt lonely all those nights.
So, for me to have some sort of beverage, (could be a decaf coffee as well) While he was up, was nice.
He doesnāt have a problem with alcohol like I do. He will drink and when heās done, pour the rest of the bottle out so itās not sitting there in the fridge. He does that for me. He drinks once a week and does not go overboard, ever.

Hello Stellaā¦
Wow. Iām thankful for your post. Had to reread several times. Took your advice and bookmarked my post as to mentioned it is so easy to fall back into old patterns especially when it comes to unhealthy relationshipsā¦as this is all Iāve ever seen and knew.
Being in recovery shows me that I do deserve a lot better. You used the word Cherish.I cried. I never thought of that. It made me feel such joy sI pictured t as Ido deserve that asdo my children deserve too see that example. To break the cycle.
Hugsā¦thank you for taking the time to pour into me with your wisdom/experience. Bless you.,

Well done Anita! 
Managing to deal with my demons. Yep more than 1.Crazy I know, but Iāve always been a bit of a go big or big home kinda gal.
Not sure of the days, have lost count, but it was a few days before the New Year.

The truth to this hits close to home. I canāt pay my health insurance but I managed to always find enough for my DOC.
Almost 4 days! The riskiest time of use is when I go to bed, which Iām about to do.
I got this!

Good job keeping stubborn 
Together the two of you will keep each other strong, focused and accountable. And I sense that he really adores you and wants the best for you. You are lucky you not in this on your own. There are couples out there who have lost relationships and marriages out there due to addictions. Sad but true.
Your dinner sounded yummy!
AND you saved 
so if you want to treat yourself to a cute gym outfit, or couples massage, building on saving money for a nest egg or holiday etc, do that, because both of you totally deserve it.
I actually had a thin based vegetable pizza last night myself. Tasted soooo good. I always thought I had to have that glass of red 
with a nice meal and you really donāt. I actually so enjoyed every single distinct flavour and could enjoy it properly without having that polluted taste in my mouth.

Oh and as a side note the last glass of red wine I had was absolutely revolting so that really helps as a last fond memory - not.

So thatās, 7 nights of great sleep, 7 days of clarity and clear thinking, 7 days of good training be it weights or cardio, 7 days of healthy food but more importantly 7 days of sobriety! 
Feel fantastic. Onwards and upwards.

Excellent move, every great journey starts with small steps. But it looks to me youāve just took huge steps and that took courage. From what I read you should be extremely proud of yourself. Your hubby will come round to your way of thinking soon enough. Its just going to take a little repetition I reckon.
But on a serious note you should be EXTREMELY proud of your selfā¦ WELL DONE YOU!
