Why is it that my husband will 'hide' evidence of his drinking in the most obvious places ever?!
It's like that Seinfeld episode when Kramer is hiding a key in Jerry's apartment but he hides it in places like Jerry's coat pocket so he finds it right away. LOL
I had to look for 2 things yesterday and both times found cigarette packs stuffed in drawers. Drawers that I go into! (BTW I don't want him to smoke in the house which is why he hides it - but duh, it obvious!)
Same thing with drinking and bottles. He drinks pop in a glass so he can add to it. To do this, he bends down behind the counter so I can't see him give himself a top up. Good grief, lol. I know what you are doing down there.
It's funny. Or at least you have to laugh, don't you? :)
Sometimes I laugh in the moment and cry later when I realize the sickness of it all. It isn't easy dealing with the A's in our lives or the irrational behavior's that come along with them. I hope you are able to take care of yourself. Sending you love and support on your journey!

My AH did similar things, I couldn't figure out how come he was literally out mowing 2 - 3x a week and then not only our yard every one else's on our country block which wound up being about 5 acres literally. I found out later why he had such a fit when it came to our son
I found beer cans behind the shed not for looking literally trying to straighten up behind the shed and realized at that point how bad things were. It's funny in a very very sad way to think of my AH hiding behind the shed drinking beer was really the lightening bolt I needed to see how ill his thinking was at that point and still is to a point, it's one of the many things that got me to alanon and I"m sooo glad I did.
Hugs, P :)

An AA friend of mine told me a long time ago that someday I will get a sense of humor about all of this and he was right. That is the amazing part of recovery, that you have found the humor in any situation.
