The complusion, Wolfie. So I think at the back of my mind, its my get out of jail free card. Which of course its not its actually probably the worse card to hold, drink yourself silly card.<br /><br />One day, I'll be brave enough. I know I can't moderate. What's the atlernative dying? I don't want that either. Absitnence it is then.<br /><br />I'm glad you're close and you feel lighter and freer.<br /><br />Hugs and lots of them.<br /><br />xDaisy Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655799879447853508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-11727091269861925272014-11-25T02:46:32.386-08:002014-11-25T02:46:32.386-08:00Bea - it is isn't it.

So love the cartwheels, never could manage ...Daisy,<br />So love the cartwheels, never could manage a proper one, even sober! When and how much to tell are questions only you can answer, what does your heart tell you to do? I told my husband that I no longer wanted to drink about seven days in, he has been lovely, kind, and supportive. I did let him know slowly how much of an issue this is for me and now he fully gets it. I was ridiculously awesome at hiding my drinking, should have had an academy award for sure. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it feels to be completely honest with my husband, it has made me feel free and lighter, not quite doing cartwheels yet but who knows?QuietlyDonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04205907751764908983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-53776703950626107352014-11-24T15:31:34.188-08:002014-11-24T15:31:34.188-08:00Your friends sound delightfully awesome. And sober...Your friends sound delightfully awesome. And sober too...perfect. Deciding what and who and when to tell is a big issue. But we'll work it out, hey? And in the meantime, cartwheeling is the way forward. Also headstands and leapfrog :) And yes, small steps will get us there, my friend!

Your hubby cou...I will say the same as to bea"<br />Your hubby could be your closest ally. Honesty with him will be relieving.<br /><br />What I found was that as the year has gone by I have been more and more honest with hubby. From the start I said I thought I needed a long break, that my mind was consumed with quitting drinking., that I couldn't stop once I started.<br /><br />As we have been more and more honest I tell him abou the compulsion to drink and sometimes drinking in secret. He knew some. He just never felt able to say anything as he was drinki pretty hard himself.<br />He does not understand my compulsive behaviour, but he knows a lot more as we go to AA together and are both sober.<br /><br />I love having him to sit with and joke about not being hungover. <br /><br />Friends are allies in this. I expect your friends were drinking a. Good deal more than you think. Regardless, it was enough to scare them into sobriety. They sound like perfect people to visit!<br /><br />Start with a small step with your husband. Honesty opens so many other doors!<br /><br />Anne Ainsobrietyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642935819165465190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-40755776843536982412014-11-24T12:11:57.105-08:002014-11-24T12:11:57.105-08:00great Post. it's amazing what shows up when we...great Post. it's amazing what shows up when we 'show up'. who would have thought. sound like great friends!<br /> enlist hubby's support as soon as you can, he is one of your biggest allies. but when you are ready of course.<br />hugs from nz<br />Lisa<br />www.thecword-compassion.comlisahttp://www.thecword-compassion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-22829269313480407712014-11-24T10:12:58.258-08:002014-11-24T10:12:58.258-08:00Your story about talking to your friend and oops, ...Your story about talking to your friend and oops, you're both sober these days but haven't told each other yet--how lovely! <br /><br />It sounds like you're doing great. For me I did tell my partner pretty early on what I was up to with this, and he's been able to be a huge help to me, but I was slow with the specific details even with him, and I've been careful who I tell when. I think it's a balance between getting support and feeling exposed, and we all negotiate that differently. I think your small steps seem just grand! xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288935120774241198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-21966437236733070872014-11-24T05:49:07.446-08:002014-11-24T05:49:07.446-08:00opening up when you feel safe sounds like a good p...opening up when you feel safe sounds like a good plan to me. I was like a creaking cupboard with my husband. craaaaak.....craaaaaaaak....teeny bit at a time......still some skeletons in there. not sure they ALL need to come out. but as much as they need to see to understand we have a problem, so they can help us, maybe? <br /><br />haven't cartwheeled myself since I tried after child no 2 (postapartum delusions of fitness) and pulled an Achilles tendon. but did a handstand a couple of months ago in a field. felt bloody marvellous (though probably looked like a heifer with St Vitus Dance). handstands when no-one is watching is the way forward! loved the to-do list you linked to on your last post, btw :) xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
