Like @BroccoliHighKicks said, show her what you wrote here. She needs to know exactly how you feel about this.
All the best to you

Day 13 everyone! Almost to that two week mark. Feeling good today. I can tell my energy levels are starting to be on the rise these past few days. Emotions are still up for grabs every now and then, but overall feeling good. Got some relaxing things planned for today to help keep me in good spirits today.
@Dazercat Congratulations on 800 days! 
Have a great day everyone!

Have an awesome day my friends!

Oh Eric! I hope ur okay too. I honestly to God was going to post to you last night asking how u were. Then my new med I took at 930pm kicked in and i got so groggy and tired for some odd reason (cuz the side effects haven’t been bad lately). Anyway… my friend… u DID NOT steal my calmness lol absolutely not! It was me drinking a shit load of coffee and trying to bead something. I was super shaky and getting that damn thread thru the hole was pissing me off haha which lead to more intense emotions. I’ve only brought 1 cup of coffee with me to work today

I have an event coming up March 12. I’m a little nervous too, but I have been completely open with my partner and even though he still drinks, he has been completely supportive. @BroccoliHighKicks suggested sharing what you wrote. I honestly think that’s such a fabulous idea. I have been honest with my husband and he has seen me struggle but he had never ever been so supportive in the way he is now after I have shared some of the posts I’ve written here. There’s something about writing on here that allows me to get my true feelings out in a way that Comes straight from the heart and that is exactly what you have done with your post. And there was also another thread called “friend coming over” … I’m sorry I wish I knew how to post the link to that conversation here I’m still figuring things out on here. Anyways it talked a lot about that just being completely open and honest because that’s the only way that someone’s going to know what’s really going on and if they don’t they can’t support you in the way that you need. I hope that you can communicate with your girlfriend and if you are completely honest then she should be 100% behind you. The same thing happened with my best friend when I told her that I was just going to cut down on drinking and she said to me “But why?, You’re so fun when your drink!”
After I actually admitted that I am an alcoholic and I cannot drink not even one sip she felt so bad about her comment and was 100% supportive.

32 is so young! I talked to my grandma a while back and she said she didn’t graduate nursing school until 34. She was a phone operator before that. I always assumed she was a nurse her whole life. It kinda clicked in my head for me that there is no time limit! Kids make everything harder too!! Seriously, don’t be so hard on yourself. (They are great and all don’t get me wrong. 
) It is so so awesome that they see you over there working on yourself. And you’re SOBER, you’re a great role model. Kids push their limits!! …OMG They try to see what they can get away with. I feel like I’m constantly bargaining with my kid and thinking up ways to bribe her or punish her. Lately the whole “counting to 3 or you get in big trouble” has been working LOL. I haven’t made it to 3 yet but she knows when I start counting I am serious! Hang in there. You’re an amazing dad!! Seriously. Better than my dad was… You’re there for your kids and you love them through thick and thin. You are awesome. Much love.

Learning more about myself everyday. Drinking was my escape, my coping mechanism for so so long and for so many reasons… I’m done giving it that much power. I am only looking up from here
