Morning :hello:
1 more AFD for me please Bearacus.
ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -

DD and her fiance are having their first Christmas in their new home and have invited the family over on Christmas Day afternoon. SO rather than pay a fortune for a cab on Christmas Day I'm considering an AF day and driving :eek: We'll see but I am at least considering a sober day over the festivities.[/QUOTE]
That's a brave move :eek: Even I usually start Christmas day with a Bucks Fizz. But that just shows how far you've come to be even considering it.

13 AFDS for me please shaggy. Mrs r so sorry to hear you are having a hard time leaving Baby R and with Mr R's drinking. It is hard enough going back to work without having the extra worry of leaving your baby with someone who is drinking. I don't have much experience with this kind of thing but have you thought about having some kind of intervention-my friends FIL is an alcoholic and his drinking has got very very bad and her MIL got back from a terrible holiday with him where he did nothing but drink from mornig till night and I think the family have held an intervention crisis meeting to say-we all know you are an alcoholic and you need help.He is 70 but his wife has had enough. Don't know if anyone else has had experience of this or whether it is something that Al- Anon can help with?
I have looked in to our local Al-Anon group but it's the other side of town and without a car it would be difficult to get to. I was just so cross monday night when I got in at 10 and he had that "glazey" look. 2 1/2 bottles of wine between 4.30pm and 10pm while looking after a baby. The only think I can think of doing is giving up my job
