Anyone have a partner who isn't totally in on your recovery?

I know it’s hard. Just remember put your sobriety first. I relapsed and it was hard coming back.
They’re called my ex wife. A good woman but I wasn’t getting sober with her.

My husband and I are pretty much just like roommates. He has no clue about my struggle, and I don’t feel safe sharing it with him.

Same here… except for the good part
Kind of ... My husband still drinks and doesn't pressure me, but he'll ask me an open ended question when he's going to the grocery store ... "Am I picking anything up for you?" I recently told him that the grocery store is one of my triggers. I have to order groceries on line now. I can't be trusted in the store because before I know it I'm picking up a bottle or 3 of wine.

Totally know that feeling. Thank you!
No. If your significant other doesn’t have your back in your sobriety then that person is not for you. Its hard to swallow but it’s true.

Not anymore. They gone. There are other reasons of course, but that was a big one I didn't feel we could get around.
What a headache!

My boyfriend is amazing in my recovery. He is so supportive, even attends meetings with me via zoom…. He will have a beer after work maybe one or two nights a week. He felt bad at first then when we had the conversation I’m the one w a problem not him. That kind of clicked w him. I never stopped at one…. He can.
had to exclude myself from a codependent relationship! He lied to me for years just to keep me by his side. I finally got a clue he would never quite so I said bye bye after 17 years!

My wife isn’t in on my recovery, but she best not get in the way of it. That’s how I manage my recovery. Strict boundaries. It’s my recovery and I protect the $hit out of it. If someone is derailing you, you have to say goodbye to them or your sobriety. For most of us, we can’t live without our sobriety. So
