Hi Everyone,
Its a clear, unseasonably warm and extremely windy day here on the West Coast. Spent yesterday cleaning and now feel vindicated about purchasing a steam carpet cleaner last year. Though an inexpensive one, hubby thought it was silly, but our new home has white wall-to-wall (!?!?!?) and I was able to clean the living and dining room carpets fairly well. My back hurts today but oh well, I slept like a log.
Sausage, I'm sorry hubby isn't being as supportive as we'd like him to be. I hope he comes around and realizes you're not quitting drinking to spoil *his* fun! This can be hard. My husband drinks too, in fact our whole relationship (15 years) has included AL in a big way. Though he supports me and is trying to cut down too, we are now learning how to be with each other without drinking. Luckily for us its not so hard, but its still weird and stressful at times. As your husband sees how serious you are about your commitment I really hope he realizes that you without AL will be a better (and as much fun!) person.
WIP: what you said:
You are all right about drinking not relieving stress but creating it. What started this misconception in the first place? Advertising? Sort of like the myth that smoking a cigarette is relaxing! Gosh I hate all that day-after worry: what did I do? Did I email anyone? Did we have the music on too loud? Did I drive? Was I OK to drive? arghhh. So glad that I have made the decision to put that behind me -- now if I can truly put that wish into action for good.
Well, off to do more cleaning. Tomorrow is the fun day, taking Dingo to the beach and possibly buying some crabs off the boats -- its Dungeness Crab season!
Cheers
