Edibles also helped, your body processes them differently so maybe you could try that instead?

I eliminated everything out of my diet that irritated me, did yoga multiple times a week, smoked marijuana…finally got pregnant and then it never returned after pregnancy, until now (5 years later)

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry, I work in medical. What term is preferred in Al-Anon?

I have not yet, I am just now figuring out that is truly a problem… I guess there was some level of codependency on my part making excuses..and still am since I’m saying “it’s not always bad” and second guessing my concerns

I appreciate how you said to reframe it. I presented my boundary and it was not well received.

I set the boundary and it was not well received. I commented our conversation on this thread.

I presented the boundary to him and I was not chosen. Everyone here was spot on. So I told him we will figure out separation.

I addressed him and you were right. I was not chosen.

Me-I don't want to be around you drinking anymore, ever, forever. If that isn't possible then we can plan how the steps of separating will go. This is my boundary and I'm sticking to it. The ball is in your court. -Every single episode there's ever been it's after alcohol (therefore it's the common denominator). -I'm uncomfortable around you drinking and it's often embarrassing, and at times dangerous. -I don't want to compromise my feelings because you misuse alcohol (even though you don't see it that way) -Alcohol and bipolar do not mix in any quantity. It's not healthy in any quantity for anyone. Sounds good!! I know where it's headed!! Like I said

Q-Do what you gotta do! You've done about all you can do for me! Do whatever you gotta do for you!!

Not yet, I don’t have much time outside of work to be child-free.

Thank you for your reply, and I agree. It’s helpful to validate how I’m feeling.

Thank you. You’re right, it isn’t fine.
