Alcoholic Wife. The breaking point.

So she's down 28-3 with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter?

Think she'll go for it on 4th and 3 near midfield or punt and take her chances?

 

She's 4-6 and needs to nab that 6-seed.

 

6-seed? You sure about that?

 

Small small steps.

Trust but verify.

Expect improvement but not perfection. Understand setbacks but don't accept them. Don't compromise the safety of the kids.

Looking too far ahead can be overwhelming and discouraging. Get through today and then tomorrow.

And someday you'll realize you've made four days in a row.

 

I'm lucky to have willpower to go cold turkey for as long as necessary but I like your way too.

Maybe I can dive in head-first for a night and then quit until the next time I want to indulge.

 

What you're talking about is a little different than booze. Be safe.

 

It was tongue in cheek.

Disagree with the first part. Coke, booze, food, porn, sex etc. isn't the issue. Addictive tendencies and behaviors are.

 

My thought stands: 30 Day treatment, in patient.

 

Wishing you and your family the best, exmediahack.

 

Earlier I posted some information about rehab centers. My intention was to be helpful, but it might have been more than anyone would want to know. If you have any questions about them, feel free to ask. I worked for two court-ordered programs attached to bigger private pay facilities.

(I'm not in the field any more. As much as I loved the work, both programs subscribed to "Craft Approach," meaning priority in clinic and in hiring and promotion is given to employees who have personal experience in recovery. I respect it, but it got too frustrating.)

 

Bingo!
Would make a good book title or band name. For me though, it's Diet Coke.

 

Is that diet coke cut with more corn starch than regular coke?
