[quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m a recovering alcoholic and I see red flags all over the place in your posts, and getting tipsy with teetotallers is just one.

PP’s suggestion that you go to Al-anon is a good one, if you want to continue a relationship with this man.

Alcoholism is a progressive disease, and many, many, many alcoholics have had periods of sobriety due to medical needs (including pregnancy), work needs, or just to prove that they can/ “don’t need alcohol”. The kicker is, when they go back to drinking, it ramps up a little each time. It’s the first drink that gets them drunk, because it sets up a craving for more. If they don’t drink, they’re fine.

As far as missing work and the like, I would just add the word “yet”. I never missed work, always had dinner on the table and the house running, and was very, very rarely “drunk”. Never had a DUI, never had legal problems, never got drunk at a party, never threw up, never got myself into precarious positions. That said, I was a full blown alcoholic.[/quote]
