    I can do this

    Well done on getting over the first week Mkiser. I don't know how my husband would have been if I'd done this in his lifetime. He was my drinking buddy and might well not have liked it one little bit - I think you're very brave getting this far. Hopefully your husband will accept and love the new you.
    AF since 9 December 2012 :yay:

      MK,

      I'm so sorry to hear about this issue you're having. Quitting drinking is hard enough without relationship issues. My life with my husband has always revolved around drinking too, so I understand this dilemma. We are working through it but it's life-changing to be sure. I hope you can protect your sobriety.

      Sending you peace and strength,

      UN::lilheart:

        I missed your day 7! I so apologize because on day 7, you get a prize:

        :moon:

        Feel honored...that represents your accomplishment of staying AF each and every day of the week. Great job!
        I just won't anymore

          Thanks jenniech!
          I've made it to day 9! I think it's getting easier... It's so hard to tell when I am in the middle of an urge. I certainly don't feel guilty about having a second helping of dinner now though; I think that may have been one of the craziest bits, my counting calories every day to make certain I could drink as much as I liked every evening.

            Dear Mkiser,
            A quick note to send you encouragement in this process. It must be tough to stop drinking with alcohol in the house -- stay strong and close to MWO.

              Hi M!

              A huge congratulations on day 9! Wow...that is a HUGE accomplishment, and you have my utmost respect for doing it even though your husband is not being supportive. I don't want to judge, but it sounds like he is mentally abusive and you really don't need that right now. Lord knows I can beat myself up enough without someone else doing it for me...that's why I am single!

              Keep up your AWESOME work! You deserve the best and you are well on your way...

              Love,
              K9
              :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

              Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.
