I’m struggling with staying sober when my husband is off work and home because he still drinks. I find myself caving in and drinking with him on the weekend and then beating myself up for it all week. How can I resist temptation when my partner is bringing alcohol home and drinking all weekend? It’s hard being around him when he is drunk bc he’s annoying and it just makes me want to check out.

I had almost 2 years and then slipped, I had to tell my husband that for right now we needed to keep drinking out of the house. Home should be a safe space for all who live there and I realized I was on a slippery slope. If he loves you and respects you he will be proud of you for taking action. I felt like I left the door open by being okay with him having alcohol in the house when really I was creating an opportunity to drink, if so inclined. I also told him he’s annoying when he’s buzzed and I’m just in a different place so he could save that for the his pals. He appreciated my honesty and it’s a non-issue now.
That’s a tough one, but maybe he can at least go to a “man cave” or garage to keep his distance?..Maybe y’all can have 1 day that’s solely for y’all and the other night he can hang with his buds and you can do some self-care stuff..
Get a new husband. There are like thousands of them out here.
