Why is it so hard to be vulnerable? I told my fiancé (together 4yrs engaged a month) when we met , lm an alcoholic I was in recovery when we met two years in I fell off the wagon. Got better and relapsed Jan 1st this year and I can’t be honest why.

i was addicted to carts (not the same but still difficult in its own way) and i think it’s not about being honest in general it’s about being disappointed in yourself for not committing to your promise. but the more important thing is that you recognize that if they care they won’t be upset, but instead ready to support your road to recovery ❤️ Never give up, it really is a journey and it takes a lot of strength to do what you’ve done!

Thank you, it’s very hard because we had the discussion of kids and his biggest concern is me lapsing while pregnant which I said if we go that path I’ll do everything to stay healthy.

I understand and his concerns are valid! However, he also needs to accept that one day he will have to just trust you to stay healthy. much easier said than done but it is important for him to not resent you

Thank you I really appreciate it, I’m in therapy and my therapist said I should invite him to session to tell him about why I drink. And I just am not sure yet.

Take your time, especially if you have the support of a therapist it’s important to make sure you’re 100% ready to speak with him. I believe in you, you’ve got this ❤️
