Hope everyone is doing okay. I haven't posted in a while but have been reading posts here and there. My bf has been sober for 8 months now, and also thanks to alanon, we are still together. I never thought we would get to this point. Taking it one day at the time really works, and it does get better. I was so afraid he would be a dry drunk. Guess what, he has come a long way, we both have. He's caring now, we communicate.
I do have slip ups. One day, he wanted to see his friend and I kinda blew up accusing him of things. He said "stop acting crazy". Wow, then I realized I slipped back into my old behavior. I thought about it, and decided it was okay to mess up and let it go.
His being sober and me working a program has brought many good things. We're finally getting somewhere in this relationship and in life. I'm not alone in this relationship anymore, we are both in it, and it's a good feeling.
Isn't it a great feeling to finally come to terms with things like that? I've hd my fair share too to situations where I needed to take a step back and readjust my stinking thinking. Growth is a fabulous thing.
great news and glad to hear your update too. I can surely relate to when we have slips but now sooner than later I realize I am acting crazy so it stops earlier and I laugh at myself.
I enjoy updates that tell me things can happen that no one every thinks is possible. Thanks for spreading the hope around. Keep finding your joy.
hugs, ddub
