With strength and discipline, I am married to a heavy drinker, same goes for me.
How did u get the discipline ?
I look at the beer I purchase and he drinks as failure for me. I attend a meeting on Sunday online that is positive and have loaded apps to help in the tough times. It is not easy. November 3 was my enough date.
Yes its possible with discipline and strength you can get it done.

I agree that it's possible. However, it depends on the person too. I know some people in recovery that still work at bars/restaurants and have no problem saying no. I know others that can't be around it at all and still avoid the booze aisle at the grocery store like the plague. I wouldn't recommend working in a bar in early recovery, especially without a program.
absolutely because you end up being the adult in the room and the babysitter without anybody actually realizing it good for you. but if it's too hard for you that is different. alcohol is poison and if you look at it as poison and for what it is, you will do great!! I am really grateful for you because of what you wrote. makes me stronger today as I try not to talk about myself too much. okay, take care. good luck! I don't have enough time on this website and I apologize people that are on this site. take care
