One thing, and i apologise if this has been covered before but I am asking as the wife of a OH in denial - he has definitely cut down on the amount he drinks - but we had a night out last night and he had about 4 pints and was really embarassingly drunk. From what I have researched about this, it could be that he has lost tolerance to alcohol - or the alternative is that he is still secretly drinking and this tipped him over the edge. I really really want to beleive the first alternative - has this happened to anyone else???L[/QUOTE
I have never seen an alcoholic get "embarassingly drunk" on just 4 pints. I have occasionally come across some who have lost all tolerance to alcohol but they have all been in a very advanced state of breakdown. I have met many (including myself) who would lie "on their mother's grave etc." that they only had so many

Am I right, not having had a drink for 30 weeks, you think/know it wouldn't have more affect on me now than it did then

I've only had two, sounds very familiar:o

Your abscence has been noticed;) And may have played out in favour of your reputation;) Or should I say against someone else's. If you're interested PM me:D

Self help? Personally, I help myself to alcohol on a daily basis...

Truthfully Al Mac I don't know. besides I prefer to speculate on the results of NOT drinking.

We all know the only reputation I have, is one I've been trying to lose the whole tiime
Still I am very curious, re what the hell you are talking about :rolleyes: , so you have a pm.

And yes the drink would effect you more now, however if you went back to drinking your tolerance would go upto previous levels very quickly. This is only based on my own experiences, I haven't read that anywhere.

hi guys...

havent been around much......
last few days have been really bad......
sometimes it would be easier if i was dead.......
and other times (like on friday night.. someone at their first meeting)
im glad i am me and not them........
i no the feelings of desperation will go......but at the time it feels like hell
OH has just gone his dads to tell him we are splitting up......
but he had to attack me with verbal & mental abuse before he felt
adequate enough to go and do it !!!
how i hate living with other peoples insercurities !!!!!!!
he decided to attack my alcoholism and belittle me yet again.....
just goes to show how much hes tried to understand the illness

i no i will be ok...... take care all xxxxx
