Gregg is an alcoholic.
...the sneaky, I can handle it, random binge drinking kind.
...The big Lowe's annual sales meeting in Feb (now in Vegas - ugh) has been our biggest trial. He went in 2005 and 2007 (Paige was born in Feb. 2006 so he missed that one -whew!) Both times, I am psycho momma tracking him down after he didn't call to say goodnight (immediate red flag). I'm thinking, he is going to lose his JOB b/c of this addiction!
...And this is the deal. You get to know us, it comes out. Gregg's alcoholism is not in any way a secret. It is a fact.
...Alcoholism is apart of who we are both as individuals and as a couple.
...AA will be apart of our lives until the day we die.
...There is no cure for alcoholism.
...It is not going away.
...Relapses likely will occur.
...It is what it is.
...It is a journey, our journey ~ I chose this man to marry.
Gregg has been in Vegas since Friday. Last night he gave up 10 1/2 months of sobriety in order to drink that first beer. I'm sad, disappointed, frustrated but mainly, just. very. sad.
Our journey continues...
