Well I dealt with the most difficult urges last week. It wasn't necessarily because it was Christmas. More so, the stress. I didn't anticipate these urges, but quickly recognized them. I jumped on here and started reading, and watched documentaries. I made it through it. Is it normal to have urges like that? Also wanted to ask about what support system you guys have. I really wish my other half knew how hard I've worked to remain sober, loose weight and get healthy. I truly believe he just thought I enjoyed drinking. Dont think he believed I am an alcoholic. I've tried talking to him a few times to no avail. Maybe I'm expecting too much from him. My support is you guys, and I'm so thankful for each of you. Just wish I could talk to him. I've been sober since May. I remain committed to my new life. I just feel like I'm going through some of this alone. Does anyone have any insight they can share? Again, I appreciate each of you. Thanks for letting me vent.
