My boyfriend has a binge drinking problem and has a habit of disappearing when he drinks. Not coming home when he said he would, ignoring phone calls and texts. I have a really hard time dealing with it and it’s led to some explosive fights where I lose it completely and do a lot of things I regret. It’s especially hard now with a 5 month old baby that I take care of completely. BUT tonight he is out yet again and instead of sitting in front of the door seething, I pulled out the list of tools my therapist gave me! Put baby to bed, did some exercises, deep breathing, and taking a bath now before I go to sleep instead of staying up waiting. It was hard but it feels good to do the right thing instead of having a ton of regrets later :)
