    I have had a lovely time 'off' but I have to admit that I have not FAFFED once in the passed two weeks - the shame of it. Most nights were moderate drinkies but I did have a few blow outs followed by nasty hangovers.
    It would appear that I am incapable of saying no to a drink that is offered by someone other than my spouse.

    I was the same, though normally I wouldn't even say no to the wife (ex) :eek:

    I think for me it was my alcoholism - it wanted me to drink, and it wanted me to feel ok about drinking because someone was offering it to me.
    It gave me an excuse (like I needed one) and somehow legitimised my drinking (as I couldn't say no to someone could I?)
