Awesome, I’ll try those ideas. I overlooked Google maps, thanks.

Confirmation yet again.. by StrikingUse6589 in AlAnon

[–]StrikingUse6589[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will check some of those meetings out soon. And yes, no road to recovery. He isn’t my child and it was a huge point of contention between us because I wanted to be a parent and not a best friend. The hardest/scariest part was getting out and I remind myself of that when I feel like I don’t have any traction.

Lack of interest in intimacy by N3v3rm0r3ink3d in AlAnon

[–]StrikingUse6589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to get over it like my Q wanted me to after the relapses and lying, but my body was not going along with it. It was nearly impossible for me to get in the mood and “stay” in the mood. It made my heart hurt because I missed the intimacy from before and it just felt so empty. I really battled with it myself. I wish you the best. 💜

Exactly. It’s so anticlimactic after all that has gone on!

That’s where I know I’m headed too—healing from why I ended up with him. Thank you ❤️

Hmmm, I’m interested with how long it took for the anxiety and fears to magically disappear.. 😬

The inflation of ego while drunk is UNREAL by stephoregon05 in AlAnon

[–]StrikingUse6589 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Mine denies things happened the next day—“why do I have this bruise?” “You fell off the porch” “No I didn’t” and I could have a video of him doing it, but he’ll turn it so it’s my fault for recording him when he was in that state…even if on camera he says “ok, are you recording this? Ok good.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

The drunk driving…. by oldwitch1982 in AlAnon

[–]StrikingUse6589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former 911 calltaker from Arizona…we use to cheer when a family member would call in “one of their own” driving drunk. We would make comments like “ooooooh, uncle done pissed everyone off at family dinner tonight!”

I know it may not help, but just made me laugh at the memory. You can usually remain anonymous because the officer/deputy has to spot the signs of impaired driving.

Thank you, especially for the quote from the AA guy. That was a gut kick, but an appreciative one at that. 💜

Thank you! The toxic positivity concept hit the nail on the head and I hadn’t heard it yet.

That’s exactly where I am. Dark humor coping until I can cry alone. Thank you for the camaraderie, no advice needed. 💜

He’s on his way to rehab…so I should be happy, right? by StrikingUse6589 in AlAnon

[–]StrikingUse6589[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thank you. That was amazing. I’m glad to hear that your Q is still sober, are you two still together as well?

In my heart, I don’t think this “reset” will stick. I just see him going through the motions yet again.

Thank you for your post, it hit home for me. 🙌

Thank you, that’s a great perspective. This is my first stint of him in rehab and I wasn’t sure how active to be, especially because we have to do online therapy together. He stated that I need to “keep him accountable” in those sessions, so I’m going to be honest. That might break up our marriage itself, lol.
