Waking up

I am new. I want to get sober. I wake up every morning trying to remember the night before. I wake up ashamed every day. I tell myself I'm not going to drink but then I can't say no when my alcoholic partner is ready to drink. I know I need to work on myself. Not sure where to begin to stop.

U can’t do this by yourself get a sponsor admit to your self steps 1 2. And 3for a start

Can you ask your partner not to drink around you? Or can y'all purchase alcohol-free wine, beer,, etc.?

I can always ask but know I can't count on his actions to dictate my own.

True. Be strong. There are meetings. AA offers sponsors. You got this.

I'm new here trying to get sober and stay sober…Hope I have not lost my job…

Hey, Mark. I hope you didn't lose it. In the meantime work on your resume and begin a job search.

What are you doing to try to get sober?

It sound like your codependent. Have you check there hhelp they could offer codependency 12step programs.
