level.
Last night my husband came home from a ball game having had a lot to drink. He says 5 beers, willing to bet it was more. What put me over the top was that he drove himself and two others home.
My SIL call her brother the highest functioning A she knows. He is a professional, owns his own bizness and is a director on many community boards. He can drink 2-6 beers a night and show no effects and function perfectly for all appearances at almost all times.
Otherwise, marriage, finances, family are all excellent. I can't threaten leaving him as I don' think I really would.
This issue rears up a few times a year, for me it is the driving that I won't tolerate. I just don't know what to say to him or my adult kids who take the lead from me.
Al-Anon is a program for persons who are troubled by a loved one's or friend's drinking. Welcome to MIP. We are not Al-Anon, but many of us are in Al-Anon. You are not alone. Glad you're here.
