Morning all! I resisted Im so proud of myself- I got in from work at just gone 10, husband was upstairs having a bath and I plomked myself down on the sofa next to his recently emptied glass and half a bottlle of red. I picked up the glass to check if it was from that evening, sniffed it, and then DIDNT FILL IT UP *yay* I just thought its so late, and I was so tired it would have been drinking for the sake of drinking so I went to bed. Woke up this morning feeling BRILL and so proud of myself. I feel on track for the rest of the week now. I am trying to lose weight and am 9lbs away from my goal so laying off the sauce will no doubt help that too.
Thanks for the lovely welcome- I feel I will fit right in here- my personal best is 3 bottles of wine to myself of an evening but as I said yesterday Ive really reined it in this year but fully intend to still drink like a "normal" person.
I would like 5 AFD for the remainder of Oct please (including yesterday if thats ok

Well done you!!!!! :j

I wish I could do this but my husband has a worse alcohol problem than I do (I've said in an earlier post I think he is probably an alcoholic ). We HAVE to have more wine in the house than we can possibly drink because he can't face running out.
Well done on your AFness so far :T.

That sounds just like MrR. 2 bottles in the fridge is never enough.

Morning All!

I'm still undecided about what to do with the info from last week. I really want to talk to him about it but I keep being a bit of a wimp and putting it off. I just know he'll get all defensive about it and tell me to stop going on about it. I had to go out for a couple of hours last night so left him in charge. I had to leave the house knowing that he'd already drank 1 bottle of wine and there was still 2 in the fridge, i felt like crying. He's been off work the last couple of days with a bad back (can't move his head, can't lift anything, doesn't feel up to driving, etc). Funny how he managed to walk to our local shop and carry back 3 bottles of wine yesterday.....................
I don't understand how he can't see how his behaviour effects others. Maybe he's such being selfish.

Bearacus - Congratulations on becoming an Auntie again!!

MrsR I'm so sorry. From what you've said about MrR it sounds like he is an alcoholic. He probably does understand how his behaviour affects you and BabyR but cannot stop himself; I don't think it's really a matter of being selfish. However, you have a young child to consider; I can understand how worried you must feel leaving BabyR with him. I'm sure you must have spoken to him about getting help but perhaps when he's not had a drink ( and I know that might be quite a narrow window) you can urge him again.
I'm so sorry I can't add anything really useful but I do feel for you.
