[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's also hard to tell if he's indulging more because he's on vacation or if he regularly drinks that much, which would be more concering. Did his moderation program define how many drinks counts as moderation? [/quote] OP here. Sorry to have taken so long to respond. I misspoke when I made it sound like he was also on vacation- he wasn't. I was the one on vacation, visiting him at his home. Part of the concern is that he's very secretive about his whole controlled drinking program; he won't give anyone many details, so I'm not sure if there is a defined set of expectations re: what is considered moderated drinking. I know the initial phase was a 90 day period of complete sobriety, which he says he did and I do believe him. I've posted here before about my dad. He has been retired for a long time now (retired at 49, now is 67), so there hasn't been a job to lose in awhile. He's never been arrested for drunk driving, thank God. He would have a drink or two during the day with lunch and dinner, and then according to him, proceed to get blitzed at night, after everyone had gone to bed. He swears that he never drank and drove my children while visiting me, but the slowly decreasing wine in the bottle I marked told me otherwise. I'm just worried about him; we all are. The longest he's ever been able to remain sober has been 9 months, according to him. Obviously someone who doesn't want to stop drinking isn't going to, which is something we all have to accept. While my mom isn't perfect, I believe he's been emotionally abusive to her. There's never been any one major incident that's affected his standing as a "good citizen" but according to both him and my mom, there were incidents (in the long ago past) that ended up with him being carried upstairs totally wasted by family members or him punching a wall.[/quote]
