Morning attitude adjustment
I'm headed out the door in half an hour to go to my early risers group. I need an attitude adjustment, bad. I woke up with tons of resentments against hubby, some pre-marriage. And I'm leaving for Ca. tomorrow. I bought tickets for him and the kids to go to Spore this summer. I was supposed t ogo too and take the kids SCUBA diving in Malaysia, but not with the way he's treating me.
My sponsor says spouses can get quite angry when we change, even when it is obviously for the better. Seems true in this case. But she said this is where I have to stand up for my sobriety by letting him know that behavior is not acceptable. She said were I drinking,I would have opted to be a doormat.
Sounds right to me. Now I just have to work on maintaining my side of the street so my emotions don't get entangled, I fall into self-pity and drink.
I consider myself a fairly strong person, but spouses have our number!
Thank God for sponsors and meetings. No way I could do this left to my own devices. I haven't proven to make good choices around alcohol in the past.
