Yes, when I drink, by bf stays up all night worrying about me. Doesn't sleep. The look of disappointment in his face, and I still continue to drink. I think I'm being slick and can hide that I've been drinking, but he always knows! I have no reason for drinking, not mad, sad, just happy, and want to feel happier. I'm pathetic :persevere:

I am trying so hard to be sober. My wife has a different relationship with alcohol. She doesn’t have the same problems I do. On one hand, I feel like she should support me and cut it out. On the other hand, why should she have to give something up she can handle responsibly just bc I have a problem? When I look at it objectively, it doesn’t seem fair to either of us. When she drinks, it’s very hard...

When two or more people get together, sooner or later there are going to be challenges. It's pretty much normal.

If you keep on doing what you've always done you'll keep on getting what you've always gotten!

I am not good with boundaries. I’m not good at setting my own. I’m not good at respecting those of others. I think I know better. I don’t and I am working hard on being better. I am finding strength to establish and communicate to others my place in this world, and to listen to/accept theirs.
