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.
What temptations you have to fight against, Linda! I know how easy it would be to give up/in to such overwhelming pressures, & there would be those who would not blame you. I so admire your tenacity & perseverence though which has gotten you your three years of sobriety.

I want you to know it's your honesty, Linda, in my experience, that gets us to meetings. We know that no matter how many years we have or how strong we feel, we need to work our program and go to meetings.

You are amazing that "in a house full of drinkers with a full bar downstairs," you still keep your honestly check running. Most of us would get sidetracked occasionally by the fumes alone. But you go to meetings!

Bless you, Linda.
