[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. [b]Husband also said we could stop drinking entirely if I wanted that.[/b] I am considering we try that for a period of time. Would you recommend that approach as opposed to moderation? For a few weeks? Can that help confirm that he does not have an alcohol dependency as he states? I am not convinced he is an alcoholic considering there are some days when he drinks less or not at all. It seems to be worse during periods of stress. [b]He does not think it is a problem because it doesn’t control him.[/b] Thanks for the thoughts. [/quote]

If it doesn't control him, why doesn't *he* decide to stop drinking altogether?

OP, you are enabling him and being avoidant, and the only result of that will be your long-term detriment.

Double up on birth control for sure.[/quote]

A classic test for an alcohol problem is to set a predetermined limit, say two measured drinks, and try to hold to that for say a couple weeks. This is much harder than an alcohol fast.

Most people with alcohol problems have no idea how much alcohol controls them. [/quote]
