Tips and tricks threadhonestly, just looking for some advice here, i mean tips
Hey there! So, I'm 38 with four kids, you know? Life's been a wild ride, and I kinda got stuck in bad habits for quite a while. For about six years, I was hitting the bottle pretty hard,dealing with some deep depression stuff. But after that long dark tunnel, I finally managed to get help and turned things around two whole years ago now. I never really considered myself an alcoholic-mostly because I didn't think I had to have booze to cope anymore-but it's still something I enjoy from time to time.
Anyway, last weekend I was out in the yard doing some work when I thought a drink on such a hot day sunded like heaven. So I had six-or maybe more-and endde up totally tipsy by evening. My husband came home and he hasn't been happy with me since then, i mean, he's been super mad about it for days. It's weird, because sometimes I feel like I'm hiding who I really am just to make him pleased or fit into this mold of the perfect wife that doesn't exist. And when I tried to be myself and enjoy a drink once in a while? Yeah, I kinda lost control.
I guess my question is: is it okay for me to still have that occasional drink even though my last time was about a month ago? Or am I just hurting everyone around me? My husband always has something sharp to say, you know, making me feel like everything's somehow all my fault. And because of him, I don't even have friends anymore since he judges anyone who isn't his iddea of perfect. So now I'm at a loss here-what do I actually do?

Hey there, anyway, you didn't mention anything about how this might be hitting your kids. It's kind of like looking out a window instead of inside yourself, you know? Honeslty, it's tough to give advice because I could come off as all judge-y or something. So maybe try seeking help from someone who can really dig into what's going on with you and figure out some real steps towards happiness for u and everyone involved-your children and your husband too. Just keep that in mind. Good luck wiht everything, take care!
