Almost Caved

[New Day]

Hubby has been having a bad day with the computer and when I called him up for dinner, asked him what he'd like to have to drink with his meal. If he had of said a glass of wine, I was prepared to open a bottle for him (us) as I felt so bad for his tough day. Of course, he'd have only had a glass and I would have drunk the rest. Thank goodness he asked for a glass of milk instead ... which we both had. I was very wobbly there for about 30 seconds ... surprised at how easily I would have caved (well, not really surprised I guess!).

I suppose the way I phrased the question, I was really hoping he'd say wine so that would be my excuse! ---- tomorrow I'll ask if he'd like milk or water! Lesson learned.

Newday...that happens all the time. It's completely normal going through what you are.
You're doing fine honey.

Newday, In the beginning, we all try to "kid ourselves"....it is those old habits slipping in......But, you rose to the occasion. The important thing is to pay attention and learn, which quite obviously you did! So congratulations you are on your way!

I would be much more concerned if you drank with an Oh! laddy da....so what attitude! Keep going!

Best Wishes!

Hi New Day,

If it is any consolation - I used to do that with my hubby too - ask him if he wanted a drink or if he wanted me to buy some beer at the shop - hoping he would say yes because being honest I didn't really care if he wanted one, I did. Of course didn't take him long to cop on to what I was doing and he would get a great time winding me up about it!

Sorry Gyco if I said something wrong. I certainly don't mean to offend anyone on this site. I'm new, so if there's something in my post that is inappropriate, please let me know what it is so I don't reoffend.

Thanks everyone ---- I guess there's nothing I've tried that anyone else hasn't! LOL!

Hi New Day
You did nothing to offend. It's great to welcome you. We are all from different time zones and some of us pop on and off the site all day.
So sometimes you don't get a reply right away to your post, if that happens, just wander amongst the other threads to see who is online and posting.
I look forward to seeing your posts.

HI Wally ---- thanks. Yes, I see where there are people from all over ... amazing! It's been great reading a lot of the posts ... I've learned so much. This is a refuge for me, as I've not discussed my concern over my drinking except with my best friend (who happens to live half a world away from me --- in Oz). I'm trying to do this quietly on my own ---- haven't discussed it with hubby even. I guess I'm afraid of failure, but trying to prove to myself I can beat AL into being under my control.
