Hello everyone

[Jh73]

My name is Jen, I been drinking off and on. Been to AA meeting it isn't my thing. My husband is putting boundaries on me now to protect him but I feel the boundaries are more harm than good. We been married for 17 years and just moved to Maryland. The bad part of this whole thing his moms drinks heavily due to her husband passed away but been drunk like this before. Once a month I'll have couple beers with her. Another thing my husband has excluded me to go to a birthday party with him tonight and this is the only night for awhile we can have time without kids. I am not drinking today or yesterday. He also cancelled my best friends visit to come see me because he doesn't trust me. Which these boundaries he made are making me angry hurt and just don't want to be here. Anyways thank you

Jen

Hi Jen, I've never had a problem with drink, I don't really like the affect it has, my stepdad on the other hand was a heavy drinker getting through two 1 litre botles of Vodka daily. He was also a Heroin addict and he always said to me before he passed that he'd rather go through Heroin withdrawal 10 times than go through Alcohol withdrawal once. He used to say drink came from Hell, LOL.
So I myself have no clue what you're going through but i've seen my stepdad go through it and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Stick at it and keep going to AA, you'll get there in the end.

We have a support / sober living section that you can find 'here' - but from your post it sound like other people have a problem with your use more than you do. I personally understand this and have had similar situations before - enforced 'boundaries' for me simply are not an option nor is having somebody give me a set of rules to follow.

He is 'punishing' you for your drinking and when a supportive and understanding partner can help you his behavior is doing the opposite.
