Here's the deal.
I have ben a lurker here for about a month and this is my first post. Been drinking for many years and know this shit is going to kill me soon if I don't kick it. Dr. has been telling me this for some time now blah blah blah....... My wife of five years is a drinker too and I told her that I have to quit many times. Her response is always, " I can't be with a man that doesn't drink" I have asked her for her support and asked her to at least hide the wine from me so that I am not tempted to drink it. Currently I am on topamax 50 mls in the morning and 50 at night, just started about 3 weeks ago. It really does help the cravings and I only have a few beers a night now. The other night when I asked for her support she threw a fit and cried, yelled, etc. and it was unbearable. She said you cannot change who I am, but I support you. (yeah geez, a whole lot of support there huh) the next night, same thing. I even told her I would drive down to the store and buy her some wine to shut her the hell up so I could sleep and she said no, but still continued to bitch.
Now I know this is a bad sitch, but right now in this economy, she is the breadwinner and I cannot afford to move out, divorce etc. I am caught in a living hell, especially since she has two adult daughters that are the spawn of satin (no not the cloth) that treat me like shit and probably have contributed mightily to my drinking thus far. I need help and need to get healthy again, but have no where to turn until the friggin recession ends. Any ideas?
Thanks!
