Just got back from an all inclusive vacation to Jamaica. Vacation was great but all inclusive part was pure h e l l. Drinking started at 10 am and went on all day. Everyhwere I looked people were drinking - in the water, on land, on the beach, in the lobby, etc, etc, including my husband. All day long and into the evening - with every meal except breakfast. Was really hard. I drank non-alcoholic drinks - lots of soda and juice and water. Was gonna say no resentment but who am I kidding?? I resented every glass of wine that man had. I try not to but it bothers me because I love really good red wine.
Home again so I have some control but the drinking goes on, on his part. Been sober for three years now and in a house full of drinkers with a full bar downstairs its rough going sometimes. But...one day at a time I guess. I love him with all my heart otherwise. And he's never going to stop drinking so what choice do I have?? Just keep going to meetings and stay strong.
