Hi all! Im on my third day w/o my daily 3 glasses of Pinot noir. Does anybody else struggle with telling the hubby about that newfound determination to quit booze for good? He drinks daily too and I’m scared he’s gonna give me a huge eye roll lol

That would be awesome…not holding my breath though, everybody we know drinks. I can’t move the booze out of sight, but I am determined to not touch it no more. Feeling great so far - thanks for the support Ben!

I really want to supportive but after 20+ years of drinking and marriage I can tell you with experience it’s not going to be easy.. as Chris Rock once said .. if partners are not on the same page it will never work.. “an alcoholic and sober can never stay together but two cracks are soul mates!” Lol

Right now I really think it’s not that hard, at least so far. Felt super excited the first three days. Yesterday night I had some internal debates like ‘some wine once in a while is not a big deal, maybe do this for a month and then try to moderate, hey there is an app that helps with moderation maybe that’s a better answer’ bla bla bla…today I feel good again about my decision to loose the booze for good. So glad I don’t have to travel this road alone, thanks for your support! :heart:

Yes I agree! Thanks for your thoughts and insights. My marriage never has been easy. My new project might make things even harder. Have been thinking about divorce quite often, very conflicted if I should count my blessings (which are many) or cut loose. Not sure if I’m listening to fear or just keeping realistic expectations…decided not to worry too much about my husband for now but focus on staying off the booze instead. Told him about my newfound sobriety yesterday, and he was somewhat supportive. And I caught him today watching YouTube videos about quitting smoking which is a small miracle in itself. So whatever happens happens, and I’ll deal with things as they emerge
