Arguments about drinking

[Anonymous]

OP did you see the comment about instead of doing a period of abstention, do a period of moderation? Maybe see how two drinks a week for two months goes? I think that would have been a better test but I wonder if you are out of, how do I say this, relationship capital?

OP, you doing okay?
I’m one of the wives of sober alcoholics and have been thinking of you.

I don’t think moderation will work for OP’s husband. He has demonstrated he’s an alcoholic and does not have control over how much he drinks. He will have to abstain. I know this from personal experience.

OP, not only will you upping your drinking NOT control your DH's alcoholism, it will increase your own chances of developing alcoholism and/or breast cancer.
