Calm Waters…
I woke up angry on Sunday. Not not just because my husband had been drinking etc…but because of stupid and all the . I had to schedule time to do everything, according to when I would have electricity…I had to plan when I was going to my hair!!
Anyway… so we were at my friends’ house for dinner and my husband had a drink….he had a whiskey…I tasted it and it isn’t nice….but then again I don’t like whiskey….
Anyway….I noticed how he was chilled and pleasant all night. Even though he had that whiskey shot, he only had the 1 shot but he was great! And at then end of the night I was thinking that maybe it is me that has the problem with him drinking.
Maybe….
- the shouting
- the twisting of my wrist
- the turning over the bed while I was on it
- the throwing of glass
- the growling
I don’t know, but since Sunday night him and I have been in a really good place. So I am back to forgiving him and wanting to be with him and being full of smiles and love and just in a good place.
You can’t control his drinking, it is naïve to think you being present will make his drinking be okay.
Drinking is progressive. It is okay, until it isn’t.
You are right! I just want him to control or stop his drinking, so I will tell myself anything to rationalize why I stay with him and cannot let him go.
I love him and since I am all talk and don’t follow through with ending things, I think I just need to accept his drinking and let him sort himself out. When he is sober he does say how he hates it.

I have no respect for alkies. I was born to one, handed to a couple of them as a foster child, my foster sister tried to get me into it, and I almost did… but no. 🙁
I am sorry you went through what you went through as a child.
When you love him, it is so hard!
