update from the weekend
Permalink  

For those of you who may remember.... I was a little concerned and really employed the One Day At A Time thing this weekend.

I thought my husband would contact friends of his who are in town due to a personal family medical emergency.  They are major pot smokers.

I decided that no matter what, I have things I want to do this weekend.  Nothing fancy.  I wanted to read my book, do the washing, take the dog for a walk, watch a movie and generally relax.

I did this.  He did this with me.  Usually he woudl work on a Saturday but he didn't this weekend.  He has not rung his friends or asked about them.

He has not smoked for over a week from what he has said.  I had a moment of not believing him and I kept having to hand things back over to my HP.  I took things back a few times.

Before I knew it, the weekend was over and here it is Monday again.  It was all good and I enjoyed both days. 

I think those friends will be returning to Alice Springs in the coming days.  I feel comfortable that if he sees them before they go, he will smoke with them.  But I also feel greatful that it didn't turn into two weeks or so of constant stress of having it around.

thankyou HP.  I am feeling much better today.  I am feeling a little down still from helping my friend in a termination of pregnancy issue (wife of another of my husbands friends), and even my hubby is saying that his mate needs to sort his stuff out. 

Got a big week on this week at work and counselling so may not be on much in the coming days.
