You are right Labug it probably was a mess. I am getting stronger everyday. My therapist is surprised I went to a meeting so soon and said it is a good ssign of how far I have come in a few months.

H was in a decent mood when he got home so I took a risk and told him about how I had come home the other night and found him passed out with food burning in oven. I showed him the new smoke detector I installed today above the stove. He apologized and thanked me for taking care of it. I told him I only brought it up for concern for s safety and then dropped the convo.

He told me a story about work ( first time in weeks). And then told me a silly pun he thought up. I gave him a har har you are so cheesy kind of laugh and he smiled at me for the first time since BD.

I am calling all of it baby steps toward my goal of being amicable for S sake.

My therapist thinks I should get his family involved in talking to him about drinking. I don't know. I will see how things go when they are in town for Christmas.
