The party was great, had a cry as well, because this was the last Christmas party for children and parents together. Next year my “baby” is going to school. Unfortunately in the evening I f… up and had some drinks, not much, but still. So, first day for me again.

What can you change in you daily habits so you won’t drink tonight?
For me for example I make it difficult for myself to get acces to alcohol by getting rid of all in my house. I also avoided all liquour stores ore wine sections in the supermarket, didn’t went to pubs ore parties, etc.
You have to change stuff otherwise you still get the same outcome: drinking

I was trying to get rid of it all, but-my husband drinks. It is not a problem for him, but on the other side-he is not ready to get rid of alcho just because of me, and that is kind of sad.
He sees that it is a problem for me, but he still keeps bying alchocol… If I drink it all, he gets more. If I let the alchocol go in sink, he gets more. Actually I do not go to stores, and I buy alchocol maybe once in a month.
In this case-I am on my own… But-I planning to hang here with this community.

Do you have his support?
Maybe you can ask him to hide it for you ore put it behind a lock? Ore for your sake just not drink for a couple of weeks untill you are a bit stronger?
Right, so you’re not alone! You’re here with us. Non-alcoholics (or those in denial) just don’t get it. We need our peers. Glad to have you with us Daiga. We’re here for ourselves and for each other.

Well, in words he is supportive, but when it comes to not using himself… Or not bying. I have to be strong and hang out here more
Hi love, I am early on in my also what I hope and want so bad to be my last attempt to have an alcohol free life. Im in a similar situation where my partner wants to still drink and has a different experience with alcohol (he may be in denial for sure but I am trying to focus on my own problems right now ). So far asking him to keep alcohol out of our home has helped me tremendous. Not watching him engage in something I actively want to abstain from is the bare minimum for someone who wants you to be the best version of yourself.
Hang in there! This app is a great community.
