Description
The Bottle Between Us
Maybe it started as a glass to unwind. Now you notice the recycling. You cover for missed mornings. You lie awake wondering how much they had tonight. And every time you try to raise it, it becomes a fight, or silence, or a promise that doesn’t last the week.
If your husband drinks too much, or your wife does, and it’s coming between you, you may also be asking whether you’re overreacting. If you’ve been asking that for a while, that alone tells you something.
The Bottle Between Us is a private workbook for the worried spouse. It won’t diagnose anyone, and it isn’t a treatment program. It helps with the part that’s yours: seeing what’s really happening, saying it once, clearly and kindly, and looking after yourself and your children whatever your spouse decides to do.
What It Helps With:
- Trusting what you’ve seen, instead of second-guessing yourself
- Raising the drinking without it turning into a fight
- Knowing what to say when you hear “I don’t have a problem” or “you drive me to it”
- Putting down what was never yours to carry
- Feeling steady and supported, whether or not your spouse changes
This workbook is for married people living with a spouse’s drinking who want to stop carrying it alone.
