Thought I would share my husband and my check-in system! He doesn’t drink and has never had a problem with alcohol, but I have developed one in the last year. I decided to quit completely and after a couple of slip ups over a month or two I asked him if he could check in with me a couple times a day. He has been so amazing! After a few days I told him I would let him know when I need to check-in. It has turned into a take-5 and check-in whenever I feel the urge to drink creep in. I thought it would be annoying for us both, but it’s actually been a great way to connect. Thought I would share and hope anyone reading has someone checking in on them, and someone to check in with

That’s great that you worked out a system. I tried to talk to my wife but she just says she doesn’t know what to say or do. She is not emotional in the least which I think is what kept her from leaving me. I wish she would ask me how I’m doing at least once.
I’m sorry my husband is not an emotional person either and it’s taken a lot of practice for him to know what to say or do. I’m glad you have found this forum! You can check in anytime, everyone understands here
