Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Good Morning --
This is day 4. I feel physically pretty good - much better than yesterday. I do have some anxiety about a solo bus trip later today although its relatively short (2.5 hours) and I'll have internet connectivity on the bus.
I haven't felt a craving for alcohol as it has not been "available" so far which is good. Over the weekend my wife and I will be in some social situations with alcohol around but with her I'm much better about not drinking because I know if I order a drink she'll give me a look that says it all.
So since I'll be away over the weekend I may not get a chance to post tomorrow or Sunday until Sunday evening so don't mistake a non-post for a relapse!

Enjoy the weekend with your wife AND your new life!

Rich, you've been a huge help. The fact that we're both on the same Days motivates me to keep up with you. I know we'll both make it to that point Buck is talking about. Have a great weekend!

Avoid completion between yourselves as this will only result in losers. "I cant take it anymore I need a drink, I won so lets celebrate". Treat it like a marathon and you are going to help each other around the course
Your partner is not your referee. Just because they can't see you drink does not make it right.Use your joint strength in times of weakness.
Joint decisions are not always good decisions. The little alcoholic voices in your respective heads will try to negotiate a deal that sinks the ship.. ts our anniversary we should celebrate... just one
Hope this is useful, talk it out together.
I'm now six years sober and my wife is a social drinker ... go figure

I made the bus trip without issue and my wife and I are going to see if I can get on the subway tomorrow so that will be another good test for my anxiety.
