My husband frequently drinks. His behavior is embarressing at times and he tends to drink until he is full. He drinks on the average of 2 to 4 days a week. He doesn't seem to think that he has a problem but it reflects on my family, social and married life. It isn't bad enough that he drinks in excess, but the next day is almost worse. He is ugly and angry and has a mean mouth. Does he fit the catagory and if so, where do I start in this program.Thanks Michele

Hi michele

A thread is each one of these posts that get started by someone with the topic they want to discuss. You can click "New Thread" towards the bottom of the page and then introduce yourself and post a question, etc. That way everyone gets to know you.

Glad you're here!

There are days that I really feel like a hamster on a wheel and feel that I am getting nowhere.
The past few days, I've been reading this post and answering the questions. And I've come to realize that I have come a much longer way than I have been crediting myself for. That is not to say that I couldn't do better because I know that I can - but wow! to see all the questions that I've previously answered "yes" to now become "no" truly shows me how much better that me and my life have gotten.
A work in progress, I am.
