A couple of nights ago my husband was drinking non alcoholic beer. He poured it in a red cup. I suddenly was thinking perhaps he switched it for a real beer and found myself looking in the garbage. It was a minor regression, but I was was actually surprised I did it. I really have to work my program; I can see I still have a lot of work and deep trust issues. Holding on to "Let go and Let God" and one day at a time.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I did the same thing. Actually, I walked down to the park 2 houses away and glanced in the trash bin because that's where he used to throw his 'real beer' empties. Yet, I wasn't surprised I did it. I still don't trust him but I need to let go of my codependent behavior. Thank you for reminding me that I still have a long way to go. I usually remind myself that it's OK to slip, I just need to do better next time.
