So close to caving in. Just got in a huge arguement with my boyfriend about drinking and he walked out. Im feeling worried bc drinking is such a big part of our relationship. I worry that if i stop completely our relationship will change. In the past he has encouraged me to drink and doesnt think i have a problem. Hes very supportive in so many ways but not when it comes to my soberity. I dont know what to do. Now he is drunk and angry at me and im trying to keep it together. I just need to vent. Im so confused about everything.

So,how’s that relationship that’s built on drinking? Not a real stable foundation. Do you feel you have a problem with alcohol? Drinking to hold a relationship together,well I would suggest looking at that one again. Sobriety will bring change, sometimes that’s a good thing. Sounds like a good time to evaluate some things that are going on.

I suggest staying with a friend or family member you need your space to figure yourself out. This change is GOOD change its not just for your relationship its for your health, mentally and physically. You need this. Everything else will fall into place the way it is supposed to.Your relationship being one of those things.He should want you to be the best version of yourself.

Yes, I agree. Its very difficult. Its come up many times in the past. Im trying to understand whether i can maintain soberity within the context of the relationship.

Thank you for that. You are right. I know that if I focus on growth and healthy behaviors it will get better. Its just those overwhelming waves of craving that are telling me that escaping through a bottle of wine is the easy way out. But at the end of the day it will just keep me stuck. Thank you again.

I would say make it thru tonight. Just let it go cuz he’s drunk and you will just upset yourself. And tomorrow talk to him. Really talk to him about why YOU want to stop. He loves you so he has to understand. He doesn’t really have a choice. Lol
