I appreciate the insight. I have spoken to him about making comments about alcohol and that these sorts of comments bother me and make me want to drink again. That being said, really the biggest reason I don't drink is that he doesn't want me to (and I don't want hangovers...LOL). I'm serious about this, but I just wonder if he's so dead set against drinking, why discuss alcohol in this way? Especially with someone who's repeatedly told you that it bothers her, that it's triggering and that it makes her feel like drinking again.
I just feel it's akin to someone who's recovered from an eating disorder (which I've had) having someone make weight comments to them.
I don't use AA. I've thought about it, but don't know how I'd go without him knowing about it. I don't think he'd support me going to AA. He'd probably say I was being a "wimp". In his opinion, people shouldn't need help quitting (anything, even serious hard drug addictions), should never slip or look back. It's great he can do this (in theory, at least), but not everybody can.
I slipped due to resentment. I thought I could drink like "an adult" and I ended up passed out and vomitting. Fool.
