oooh - ouch. Now I see how hard and frustrating - that he has criticized you for drinking then encourages you when you are trying to abstain. Does he know that you are trying to abstain? How important it is to you? How much of your soul you are putting into it? Sounds like he may feel threatened by the possibility of your success... if you are successful it might cause him to look at his own drinking, and/or cause you to reevaluate the relationship.
I suggest putting yourself in a bubble of sorts - tell yourself that your drinking or not drinking has nothing to do with him - it is all about YOU. This is the time to be selfish, self-centered.

Hi all,

Sorry I kind of dropped off line. I do that. Life gets busy and hubby gives me grief if I am here on the weekends. Actually right now he is giving me grief about spending so much time at the gym. Can you imagine that? He is such a silly man, he has some false notion, the totally buffed 25 year old trainer that is teaching the boot camp I just signed up for could possibly be interested in me. Really that is just too funny! It's a good thing I learned passive aggressive behaviour and I can ignore him whenever I want to.

The In-laws were in town over the weekend and you all know how very supportive the hubby is about my not drinking NOT!. So I had to switch to Mods for a couple of days. I did very well and I feel very strong again. Went right back to AF yesterday and will stay that way for the week. Currently I have 19 AF days out of 23. So far the best I have ever done.

Busy week as the boys start school next Monday. I will try to get back on-line tomorrow. I have my 1st "Boot Camp" at the gym Wednesday night. Wish me luck, the trainer said everyone should be able to do 1 pull up by the end of the 7 sessions. I just smile and laugh about that. :H
