A Little P**ed Off This Morning

Good Morning everyone! Hope everyone who is from the States enjoys their long weekend!!
The reason for my post is my b/f got loaded last night (or early this morning, he works nights) I woke up this morning to empty beer cans on the table I have always hated that, even when I was drinking! anyway, we have so much to do and now I know that he will sleep the entire day away, and only get up before he has to go to work, makes me so mad. Over the weekend he had said he was going to cut down, but it's been twice this week. I know I can't control anyone else, I guess I'm just venting!!
Thanks for listening.

I'm sorry LD... that has to make things harder for you. Don't worry about venting, we all do it and it can be helpful. We're here to listen to you! I hope things will get better with your BF. I'm having some issues with mine too, he brought a bottle of wine over last night and yes, I had some... so I'm not sure what to do at this point. But anyway I hope you won't let this ruin your weekend, maybe you should try talking to him when he's sober and alert? Anyway hugs to you from me... still planning on emailing you too... talk to you soon...

Hi CB! thanks for your reply! I think it does make it harder when your partner is actively drinking, I woke up and could smell booze in the apartment, almost made me puke! stale booze YUCK!! so I opened up all the windows and the patio door, its cold in here but at least the smell is gone!! I have decided I am going over to a friend of mines tonight, he' s having some problems so I'll go keep him company.
Keep your chin up hun, I'm here for ya, and I look forward to your email.

LD, I use to get so irritated when my ex-husband drank and I was "trying" to do better...I think it is very difficult to live with someone who is drinking or using. Even when I was still drinking, he use to annoy the heck out of me! What am I saying, he still does! Looks like I've got some work to do...like it was pointed out in an earlier post I can only change the way I react to his irrational and absurd behavior, I can't change him...oh and I need to pray for him (another suggestion from my Sponsor). Good luck, can't stand the stale, boozy smell either, I can smell it sometimes in the elevator at work after a weekend, yuck, yuck and more yuck!

Hi there everyone! Hope all of you are having a great day! I'm just taking it easy. I actually booked work off this weekend, felt like I needed some "me" time. I know that when life gets crazy I feel like drinking so I needed to destress abit. Feels good to just do nothing..AHHHHH laying on the couch and having my kitty lay on me is heaven. I know I just came back from a mini getaway but nothing like just lazing around, seems like when you go away you are more tired than before you left, funny. Anyway hope you all had a great night, I'm going to rent a movie tonight, not to sure what one, Maybe TransAmerica.

Big Hugs to everyone,

Hi LD, love just laying around too...I'm home by myself and "Riding in Cars with Boys" is coming on...I'm already in my jammies and just checking in here. I think you are up north...is it 8:30 pm where you are too? I even took a nap today...I use to feel guilty for doing that...not anymore, I'm listening to my body now.

Hi VWgirl, I had a nice peaceful evening myself, I ended up renting When a stranger calls. I don't know if you have ever seen the original, but it was way better, this one is still spooky though, I love getting spooked!! I was by myself so it made it even more scarey! I'm glad I wasn't housesitting in one of the mansions I stay at, boy I would have really been freaked!! I feel the same way you do about listening to your body now, I would never have taken the weekend off before it was work work work, even if I was totally exhausted, now I call these times "mental health days" and when I sleep during the day I call them body rests! feels so good to take care of yourself, especially when we neglected ourselves for so long! :)
I live in White Rock B.C. right on the ocean, and near the U.S. border (Washington State) so I believe we are on in the same time zone?

Hope you have a fabtastic day!!!

Big Hugs and Lots of Love

Hi LD, just got home from a huge beach town fair that goes on around here every Memorial Day weekend and I'm here to report that the disease is alive and well out there...went to my 12:00 nooner meeting (my home group). My Sponsor and my Sister were there too! It's quite an eclectic group of people, but I've grown to really like it!

I'm making dinner and have invited my Sister over. Things are good and I'm sober and that is not normal behavior for a Girl like me on Memorial Day weekend. Take it easy.
