How to deal with the new me

How to deal with the new me ?

How to deal with the new me ? How to deal with Im not fix it’s not going to happen over night I have to fight ever second n I pay chess not checkers so I’m doing everything to explain

Well normies are not going to understand, so the only way is to accept that and do the things you need to to stay sober. Make sure the “new you” is an arrogant D though. Are you difficult to “deal” with?

Fick no I’m the most eazy person to deal with as long as your not a rapist or a woman beater

I put eveone else frist this is the only time I’m putting my need frist cuz it has to be like that

Wait are you saying sometimes you are a rapist and a woman beater?

But fighting with her n slowing me down or losing connection with her so I put it out there for better understanding cuz I can’t focus on her need

Lol no Broo thos are plp that will never get the good side of me

:sweat_smile:whew good cuz you were about to get the bad side of me. lol Just relax and cut her a break our early sobriety is weird for everybody. I still don’t have half of it figured out. Probably just talk to her about it. Chicks like it when you just listen and don’t be trying to fix their problems.

Just because you are clean today does not mean the world is filled with rainbows & unicorns. Other people remember the "old" you and can be reluctant to believe things are OK today. Also, other people heal on their own time, not yours. You can help by practicing living amends and allow her time & space to process everything.

You need to keep the old political axiom in mind. "You can lead voters to the booth, but you can't make them think.

She is going to have want sobriety for herself more than you want it for her.

Ur right n I am I also didn’t want to give her the answers to my questions cuz she need time to heal n has to part in just a lil bit to resolve whatver that hurting her feelings cuz the Fick truth hurt

Lex, we can suggest Al-anon. It’s a 12 step program for people with addiction in their family. Teaches them how to live with addicts and/or cope with the everyday stress us addicts cause.
I feel that there is nothing we can say to them. I was in your shoes a few years ago. I tried to explain what’s wrong, what it’s going to be like. I was still trying to control her and my life. My self will was a riot. Even though I wanted to quit I was scared to. Talking is the most dangerous thing we do as humans. We need to talk less and show more positive actions towards everyone.

Have you suggested she try Al-anon? Maybe if she hears some of their stories she might see herself in them.
