I'm abit confused here.
After years drinking heavily every day, without exception, I have had 12 days AF.
My trouble is that my wife and 3 children don't care about mess, and I mean major mess, but it really bugs me.
Usually I shut myself in my office in the evening after the boys have gone to bed, and drink to oblivion.
Now I am having great trouble shutting it out of my head.
I nearly got a few bottles of wine last night, and again tonight.
It was only the thought that it might take me another 3 years before I have the strenght to try and quit.
I think they may prefer me drinking, I am having real trouble putting up with this.
My wife just told me to "go and sit in your office" when I raised my frustration.
OK, they would rather me not moody, but at the moment I feel that my options are to deaden my feeling with AL, or leave. Neither is good, but I want to be there for my children.
I don't think they know much about my drinking because I do it when they are in bed, but my eldest son is going to bed later and soon he will realise.
Either choices are not good, I guess I'll have to try and find another option.
I just thought of one - we have a lot of heart attacks in our family, if I don't stop getting wound up I'll probably be next. At least the insurance will pay up then.
Sorry- bad attempt at humour (I think).
