I just wanted to give an update on the way things are going since I have set the BOUNDRY.
Things are going much better in my home. He has come strait home from work everyday, and he did not drink for almost a week. He, of course, made up for lost times this weekend. The diffence is, he has not been ugly or mean to me at all. I have to say I was very suprised.
I have learned how to detach, when he starts drinking, I left and went to my cousins house. Her and I went for a drive and then we took a long walk. It felt good to get away from him in his drunken state.
It feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The next morning, he started talking about how he is going to quit drinking, I really hope he is serious, but I won't hold my breath.
I want to thank everyone who supported me and gave me such valuable advice, when I decided to stand my ground with him. It is the best thing I have ever done. Big Hugs to everyone, recovery feels really good. Jade
Great job!!! It's a small step, yet so big and life altering. It's just the beginning of what you can learn and how you can begin the path to rediscover YOU.
Keep coming back, you're doing wonderfully :)
