Re: Pathetic, ugly, smelly, untrustworthy, gross, nasty, pitiful, you get the idea
Laura,
I can only offer hugs and support. I feel terrible reading that as you see I was the A in my marriage. I couldn't figure out why hubby was alway's sleeping on the couch as we don't smell ourselves. But OMG! Now sober, I can understand why he did now. Just the slightest smell of it when he has his one drink every few months reeks! I found my way Laura and I can only offer prayers hubby will to. I'd keep encouraging him to visit with the recovering friend, or even invite him over for a sober bar-b-que.
Out of curiosity, has he said he's willing to quit? Find help? Seek out a means of support? Or is he simply not ready? Your in my prayers.
