My boyfriends dad died 16 years ago that he has issues with. My boyfriend has been doing good with his drinking but days like this not so much. This morning he started out positive so I hope it stays that way. He took extra money tho and has to walk passed all the liquor stores. Is there any key words that would help him today? I dont want to feel scared today.
I'm sorry that you are feeling scared. Sending you lots of support today. I don't think there are any key words, you know him best. Honestly, his recovery is HIS own, what are you doing for YOU today to help you get over your fears? Maybe write them down in a journal and pray to your Higher Power about them? Maybe take a walk or walk around the mall, stop at a coffee shop and read for a 1/2 hour? Finding ways to detach and take care of ourselves is one of the best ways we can support our alcoholics.
Hi, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling scared. You don't have to accept violence or threatening behaviour no matter what. The death of his Father 16 years ago does not give him the right to make your life hell. I hope this passes for you. Are you attending alanon meetings? If not this will help you feel you have right to put yourself and your needs first.
