If You Ghad Borderline Personality Disorder and an Addictive Personality That Included Alcohol Abuse, Would?

by admin

you be angry at your spouse or mate drinking ith one of their friends in your home, while you were busy in another room...all this while you were trying to continue getting completely sober?

how about if you had mentioned to them how difficult the day had been and that you had wanted to drink, but chose not to?

Boundaries need to be established. Have your needs been clearly established in the household? Have you told your spouse what your needs are and that you expect them to be respected? Were consequences included? If these points have been discussed and this behaviour continues, are you willing to go to any lengths to stay sober? That could mean parting ways. You are ultimately responsible for your sobriety.
I know this is not an easy time of it. Things do get better the longer you stick to it. Right now, you need to get out of the house, call your sponsor/ go to a meeting. There are dual diagnosis groups that meet just like AA, NA, CA etc. It is crucial you have support from other addicts/BPs.
