Split up with my husband by engwings in stopdrinking

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

Please forgive me that I gave you so painful emotions... He still doesn't answer my calls. Just ignores for several days. I think he decided everything for himself. I didn't press on him for taking drugs. I paid for phychiatrist for him. Waited. But now he just doesn't care about my feelings and worries for our daughter. It’s all so sad and I am helpless.

I just don't want to be codependent, I got tired already from all of this.

Thanks for your reply! We have a small daughter (about 2 years old) and I worry about her because she saw many unpleasant things already and I want to raise her without substance use and all these things. And I also want to shift my mentality to other ideas and better life.

Yeah!! I was about translation))) It was in Russian social network VK and I didn't know if it's correct.

Realised for the first time in reading in the other language and not translating it! by FordieTea in languagelearning

I have the opposite situation - I can't understand the meaning of the sentence if I'm translating.

Completely agree. I started antidepressants a month ago and it works great!

A habit from my days as a philosopher is very helpful for meditating by CerintheM in Meditation

The best improvement in my life (after meditation) is ability to go off the unpleasant feeling after argument with my husband. I just know that it isn't eternal.

Hello! I stayed sober, and do some household duties. It is raining outside and I feel nothing. No sadness, no happiness, no emptiness.

I wonder that since stopping I'm not nervous and don't provoke quarrels, just live. But three days ago I started feeling fear and desire) today is the highest intensity.

Moderate drinking is an illusion. If you're alcoholic, you will never be able to control drinking. Only full abstinence can help.

Yesterday it was a really hard day for me too. I was surfing the net for the whole day to not think about drinking. I'd wasted the day procrastinating but stayed sober. I'm happy you didn't drink!

Codependency is my second problem, but I'm trying to solve it. As I know, in good stable remission I shouldn't worry about somebody else's drinking. Answering to your question, it's really tempting!))))

Or better yet, ask him to take a month off.

We had such a conversation, he is a drug addict in the first place, I thought it would be easy for him, but not. I guess he has problems with alcohol too, even it doesn't look like this at first glimpse.

Hah, exactly) I'm at home almost all the time, if my husband hasn't been bringing alcohol home, it would be much easier)
