I've been reading posts about where people hid their supply of alc, but my main prob was hiding the empties! On 2 nights of the week I can justify having a drink indoors cos my hubby goes out with his mates. (He's a social drinker and can take it or leave it. He has often suspected that I may be taking it that one step further.)
I'm not sure what my problem is (but I know I have one) but I buy my 2 or 3 regular cans of lager but also sneak in a really high strength beer or cider that I 'down in one' and hide the evidence. I am cringing to think of the places that I have hidden my empties. I recall some 12 years ago I used to crush my cans and hide them in 'used' babies nappies, cos I figured that if hubby thought "she's only had 2 cans, how can she be this p***ed" he'd never think of opening a baby's dirty nappy. He's long since stopped searching for evidence - but he knows - although he admits that he can't prove anything.
I have used empty crisp packets, unused coat pockets (I empty them when I am in the house on my own), leaving empties in glove compartment and disposing as and when or even having my 'down in one' in the car on the way home and chucking the empty out of the window before I get home.
I have a huge history of a struggle with alcohol and hopefully when I gain a bit more courage, I will tell my story.
I hope this thread is not too depressing for people cos I know that i am carrying a massive amount of guilt and shame. I don't want to offend anyone nor cause anyone any setbacks.
