    Ethel, that sherry costs about £8.50 a bottle. Seems doubtful he would buy it at that price, when he could have had alcopops.
    Friends house drinks cupboard, stolen from a shop, might not have been him?

    He's in treatment - at the ......... - It's self funded so we can't afford much more - but he has prorbaly one of the best alcohol guys in the UK as his doctor. went to first AA meeting this morning - was pretty anoyed that they brethalysed him this morning, said they picked on him. He has to go again tomorrow.

    My problem is , I keep reading that it might be better to let him lose everthing than help him by supporting. My youngest is badly affected, so I have to put us first. Up to now he still has a job, a home and a family.

    I don't know, if she knows about it, he could be doing it just because thats whats done by the kids near you. I would very much doubt he actually has a problem with alcohol, so don't worry about that.

    He could be hiding it for someone else. Don't think the worst yet please, you need to ask him.

    That sounds great, welcome to the alcohol thread, I hope you never need to come here for help :D

    You just stick out your chin and have a good time. And you can tell all about it when you get back.
