    Gahhhh!! Are you for real??!!

    My dear darling man is lucky he still has his innards intact.

    This morning he came into the kitchen around 10 am (I've sprung out of bed at 7 am as I do now I'm hangover free). He looks at me making another cup of coffee and says, "Wow. That's your third one. That's a bit much isn't it?"

    This from the guy who a) drinks nearly three bottles of wine Friday night which leads to him fighting with his father, at which point I then spend 2 hours counselling him, b) keeps me awake with blethering drunk talk until 1.30 am, c) therefore I have to do all the long distance driving the next day, d) then after talking all day about how he really doesn't need alcohol, drinks another 2 bottles of wine and e) keeps cutting in when I'm on the phone to MY parents... loud, annoying, unaware person!

    I am laughing as much as I am mad. This WAS me. But OH ARE YOU FOR REAL, he CANNOT be serious about my caffeine intake...Can he?

    Hmmm... Although... maybe increased caffeine has led me to respond in not all together most Zen-like fashion one could possibly imagine.

    Well... WHATEVER!! He needs a smack!!! (No, must have compassion, must have compassion...) :H:H:H

    On a serious note people who have problems of there own tend to look at other peoples problems and not theres.

      You're right Mario - much as I am looking at my own reaction and making light of it... it's not good that his awareness is so poor.

      Thing is, I know that he knows he has a problem. Since I became sober he's made a big deal of cutting down during the week - only to drink twice as much on the weekends.

      I have to be patient though and lead by example. I hope that eventually he gets to the point where he wants to knock it on the head completely. THEN I can help him. When he asks for it.

      I guess it's easier for him to focus on my coffee drinking than his issue... Easy does it on my part though - don't want to come across as some "holier than thou" type - that will polarise us and make it seem like I'm the opposite side of some impossible chasm.

        You sound as if you have an excellent attitude and approach there Gem.

        Leading by example is a very powerful thing. Bravo on your AF time too.

                    Heheheheeee...

                    Thanks everyone!! I don't think he's going to comment on coffee drinking again!

                    No, I didn't kick him, but I told him in no uncertain terms that my sobriety comes before any worries about my caffeine intake!
