The book is an awesome read! I'm going to ask ibizan's friend if I can borrow it after the group is finished with it. I've found great solace in reading about addiction and recovery. It brings back my desire to be a psychologist. Anyway, enough about me.
I'm sorry that you're feeling rough also. There are many days that you wouldn't mind if they passed on without you in them. I'm also glad you've got a sponsor, a great support group and all of us here to help you through this. As the ex girlfriend of an alcoholic, I can understand where your gf is coming from. My sons father is an alcoholic (he won't admit it) and I spent many nights scared for myself and my son. That was before I had an addiction problem myself so I didn't understand at all. I wondered why he didn't just stop and gave home chance after chance. You, unlike him, have taken that step to sobriety and she will see that. It may take a while, you may not be a couple ever again, but you may just end up friends.
Take care and congrats on 12 weeks.
