She only drank half a pint of vodka tonight. I guess she is trying to behave herself. She didn’t fight with me and she was only a little snippy with the kids. I guess I’ll take any improvement I can get. I just wish I thought she would maintain this trajectory. She never has before.

That’s a tough part of the living with an alcoholic or addict….you come to believe they’re a walking volatile cocktail.
Sometimes I get wary of offering affection in these moments when my spouse is calm and sometimes even loving. It’s like you develop an affection fatigue from the many times you reach out only to get slapped down and then they come around for a few moments and you don’t know how to respond. A friend calls them siren songs.
Stay true to yourself and children.
