My parter had to suddenly go into inpatient treatment for 30 days and I am really sad about it. I am glad he went because he could have chosen no to, but 30 days is a long time when we haven’t spent even a day apart since we began dating. I guess I just need some support and to know that this time will pass because it’s been really easy to just stay stuck in the bed. I drank this past weekend but decided (again) to go back to sobriety today so it’s day 1. It’s hard because I am waiting by the phone for his call obsessively and it’s only once per day and I do not know if I will be able to visit him while he is there.
Welcome to the community and congrats on starting with your sobriety!
I am sorry to hear about your partner being away for so long. I am grateful that your partner is also working on sobriety. 30 days seems long but will go by in a flash. Especially if you are working on a new healthy lifestyle - that takes effort and energy and a lot of time to focus on yourself.
Glad you found us - take time to read around and join in when you feel comfortable. This is a fantastic community full of support and great advice. Hope to see you around
I definitely feel like a bump on a log! Trying to create some good habits myself so I feel like we’re doing this together. Gotta get out of this depressive slump first.
