Hey Steve,
Just to let you know I've read..and I send hugs.
Slipping up- part of our recovery, just remember it was just a slip up, nothing more! You're getting better at stopping, but its taking time- as everything does.
Your girlfriend- Have you tried talking to her about why you're arguing more? If shes 'going on and on' dyou think theres a reason why? Ask her! I always moan more when I've got something going on in my life that i'm not talking about- maybe just see if everythings ok with her? Whatever you do dont just accuse her of cheating, she'll be offended. Also, if you're asking the question maybe you need to evaluate the relationship and how much you trust her.
The drinking- Again, something you have to persevere with, you're doing well.. you just need to keep at it! Think positive, if you think you'll give in- then you probably will. So get up in the morning and say 'I dont need a drink!' because you dont. You're strong.
Hope this doesnt sound horrible, just thought I better be direct and give you suggestions.
But most of all... you're doing so well, keep at it. We're all right behind you willing you on. I send you a huuuuggeeee cuddle.
Miriam xxxx
