I have not been able to post until today since I don't have a computer at home. Thanksgiving was a good time. Lots of people and lots of food. Everyone had a great time. The wedding on Friday was beautiful. Everything went according to plan and was very smooth. My AH and I were able to enjoy the day and our family. It was a truly a blessed time. Everyone had fun, and no mishaps. I think I had one incident regarding the wedding and that was the week before... a good friend of ours got upset because because he could not handle seeing his ex and her mother at the wedding. He backed out but not before blaming me that I purposely envited her so he would not go. I was able to step and knew that it was not about me. He couldn't have been farther from the truth. ( I had to step back and say to myself that I cannot please everyone)
During the weekend my AH had some A moments of wanting to blame me for little things gone wrong, but I was able to detach and redirect myself. I think the best part for me was that my AH was sober; it was so nice not to have deal with him staying up all night wanting more to drink or him spending tons of money on alcohol and then being too hungover the next morning that he doesn't want to do anything. I think he even said something like, "If I were drinking I don't think I would have enjoyed this day as much because I would have been too drunk to remember most of it". Although he did say that he felt a pain of not being able to drink when everyone else was. He felt good about himself that he maintained his composure and sobriety.
Still living one day at a time,
