Sometimes in life when you do not listen and do not pay attention to the signs, the universe has a way of shouting it out you loud and clear..........this is one of these moments where Tina had to experience this!
Today was a big day for Tina as she had to attend day 1 of 3 of her drink driving rehabilitation course. One of the biggest questions that really made Tina think was "how had the decision of you choosing to drink the day you got arrested affected your life"
It has been nine month since Tina lost her license and it has been a rather painful, expensive lesson but the on the positive side of this it has given her the opportunity to really look from the outside in. Bob has been through it and went through this 8 years ago, however, Bob still regularly drinks and drives. The night Tina was arrested she was down at their local on a Friday but a lot of emotions from both sides bubbling under the surface due to a lack of communication in the relationship which only made it more toxic. Tina was not getting the love and attention she needed so she would get it in small doses in a very unhealthy way. The underlying anger would up out after a few drinks and she would then turn to whoever would listen to feel supported and get the attention she so craved.
Tina was so unhappy that any sign of excitement would get her attention and out of desperation and added substance of drinking had a massive effect on the emotions. The suggestion was to "go up to the City" where the action was, so Tina decided "she was ok to drive" once they got to the city the cocktails were flowing but what Tina also realised was that she was actually trying to num the emotional pain and block out having to deal with negative feelings.
