I totally hear you. My husband also drinks… Every night. Sometimes not too much and sometimes way too much. It has been one of the most difficult obstacles but you’re right, it is our own conscious decision to drink. I’ll say though that the other day I was talking to my husband and I said it’s just really hard when summer is here because the hot weather really makes me want to drink and he said “well you could just have one”. I mean honestly I’m thinking seriously? I have been absolutely 100% honest with him and he knows there’s been maybe once in my life I had only one. He even offered to go to the store and get it for me and it’s extremely frustrating but I do think that he thinks it’s enjoyable when we both drink together but it never is! I always have anxiety and never sleep well plus we usually end up arguing, so I’m not sure how he can blind himself from what actually occurs. Anyways, congratulations on making it through many hard times and for being honest with yourself and us at this time.
It’s also really great that you know some of your triggers.
I have a bachelorette party to go to on the weekend and I’m really nervous about it. I do feel like I absolutely have to go because I am actually the maid of honor for my sister-in-law. This is going to be difficult for me. Anyways I didn’t mean to make this post so much about me but I just wanted you to know I know how you feel and I might start checking in more on the post below(I hope I copied that right)
